Description

The bridge has been out coming from 22nd street (crossing Ridley Creek) for like a year or 2 now, and ironically they changed the yield left turn on green permitted to a Red arrow that stops you from turning left even though straight traffic can continue. This is backwards, because now there IS NO traffic coming from the opposite direction (the bridge is out), and I'm sitting there wasting gas every single time I try to come home waiting for the light to change to a green arrow. People are cutting through the gas station (by going straight, making a right, then another right) to avoid waiting, because it is that pointless. If everyone is doing this, then the light pattern is flawed, not the people trying to get home from work. Why can't a left turn be permitted on green, especially when no one is even coming straight from the other direction now!?
