Deskripsyon
Ever since Caltrans (the city?) created a 2nd left turn only lane from Broadway onto Carolan I have constantly witnessed multiple vehicles in the 2nd from the left lane ignore the street and overhead markings designating the lane as left turn only and proceeding straight across the tracks to the left turn lane onto California.
**My request is to please install semi-permanent cones/structures on Broadway at Carolan to force these vehicles to obey the law and turn left onto Carolan. Every time I am heading west on Broadway in the proper lane to proceed through the light at Carolan and then legally move into the left turn lane to turn left onto California it is a constant game of having to check and see how many vehicles realize they are in a left turn only lane and simply ignore the law and go straight ahead into the left turn lane for California. I imagine much of this issue is being caused by the fact that the current 2nd from the left turn lane at Carolan used to be, prior to the interchange construction, the lane used by drivers who wished to turn left onto California.
I greatly appreciate your help in resolving this issue in order to improve the safety of our roads. Thanks very much.

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 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.

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."
