This situation is ridiculous. I spoke at length with the Traffic Sergeant at BPD on Friday who said that they have had officers posted there to enforce traffic laws but I have not seen an increased presence there and I travel through that intersection daily and often. His best suggestion to me was to avoid the area. Unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem and seems more like a shirking of responsibility. He told me to address my complaints at this website and it would get sent to Mr. Wong at Burlingame City Hall who oversees traffic issues, signage, etc. I find it odd that this website assigned this issue back to the BPD; especially when you requested some kind of construction to direct traffic properly.

This seems like both departments are quick to point the finger to another party.

As someone mentioned in another post, this issue has been here a while.

What is being done? What is the progress? and who in both departments is responsible?

Lastly, it is apparent that this is an important issue on many people's minds. It would be nice if we could get some feedback from the city official(s) who are directly involved. Feedback here or via email to those interested. How long do we need to wait for some kind of response as to what is being done? ir Is this website a "no teeth" website for airing grievances?

I have forward your request for cones to the Transportation Engineer and the police department will continue to conduct selective traffic enforcement.

I was pleasantly contacted by Sergeant Ford from the BPD yesterday. He stated that he and the Traffic Engineer ARE working very closely together to alleviate this problem. As to the BPD enforcement's end, he reported as of early afternoon, 7 citations were issued to drivers for this problem of proceeding straight from the left turn lane in question. It was encouraging to hear that the BPD was stepping up enforcement at this intersection. Sadly as I came home last night around 8pm a driver blew through it again. Hopefully, with more enforcement drivers will begin to get this message.

As far as bumpers or cones, the issue is for the Transportation Engineer (Augustine Chou, I believe). I'm yet to hear anything from his office.

That second left lane should have a solid white line forcing people to turn left. Right now the intermittent raised dots aren't doing it. Some people literally cannot connect the dots. Some people just find it easy to ignore them. Pls make that line solid to make it clear and harder to conveniently 'misinterpret'. Won't solve the problem completely but would complement BPD's effort nicely.

I totally agree! More drivers are ignoring this lane for L turn to Carolan only because they can get away with it. Too bad for drivers like me who follow traffic regulations. Solid lines and cones will definitely help.

Staff has been working with Caltrans to reestablish the previous lane configuration of a single westbound left-turn lane, and three through lanes for Carolan/Broadway. In addition, staff has requested removing some of the barriers along the US 101 southbound ramp to provide for access to southbound Rollins and westbound Cadillac. Weather permitting, Caltrans has scheduled both of these changes to occur at the end of the month.

This issue has not been resolved yet as of 2/15/2016

I drive to this area everyday and nothing has done yet. People ignoring the lanes - causing congestion 3/23/2016

It's been 2 MONTHS!!!

I just spoke this morning with the Caltrans Traffic Engineer and he is meeting with the contractor to address the issue of the 2nd left turn at Carolan and broadway and to eliminate it.

The following has been posted on a similar discussion thread, and is as follows:

"The latest information on this issue is that Caltrans has confirmed that their contractor will be removing the double left-turns on westbound Broadway at Carolan! The work is expected to be done during the latter part of next week (weather permitting). This work is also being scheduled in conjunction with the simultaneous removal of the temporary traffic signals at Carolan/Cadillac. That way, the restoration of the original configuration of both intersections will be at the same time and the driving public will not be subjected to multiple, sequential changes over a longer period of time."

It's been 2 1/2 months!!! Nothing has been done!

It's April!!! NO progress!!!

Actually 3 1/2 months!! Sorry- this issue has been here forever and people in charge would make an update if residents are inquiring only🙄🙄🙄

This week I was told by Caltrans that the 2nd left turn at Carolan and Broadway will be removed this weekend.

Thank you!!'

As of Tuesday morning, the 2nd left turn at Carolan and Broadway was not removed.

The signals at Cadillac way and Carolan have been turned off.

Thanks for your update. We residents hope it will be removed soon. Hopefully w/in the week - pls...

The second left turn has been eliminated!

Thank you very much!

The lane configuration was fixed. You may check the Caltrans project page for updates regarding the Broadway Interchange Project here: http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/projects/broadwayrecon/
