When driving west on W. Millbrook, there is an exit from Timbers Apartments on the left. Residents frequently do these two things during heavy 5 PM traffic and there are frequent accidents and near misses at the Millbrook x Timber Creek intersection because of it.

1) They get in the eastbound right turn lane (marked with a yellow star in the picture) going the wrong way and trying to turn left into Timbers. By the way, during rush hour, this lane is almost always backed up past the entrance to the Timbers, so it creates a standstill.
2) They come to a full stop in the westbound lane (blue star in the picture), waiting for the eastbound turn lane to clear so they can turn into Timbers. They come to a full and unexpected stop during rush hour on a 45 mph road. It's no wonder there are wrecks.

I am also attempting to contact Timbers management to get them to communicate regarding this issue to their residents, but in the meantime, I believe DOT or police should evaluate. Whether there needs to be additional painting in the eastbound turn lane that makes it clear it's not a left-into-Timbers lane, or a sign, or additional police monitoring during rush hour, I'm not sure. But the problem occurs there daily. An officer in an unmarked car could sit there from 5:15 until 5:45 and probably witness a fender bender, several near misses, and a lot of flustered honking and confusion.

I really can't see how this apartment complex was not required to provide an additional entrance or notify their residents to U turn and take a right into the complex instead of causing traffic jams and wrecks.
