Description

Going east or west bound, UDOT forgot a traffic light for the second Bangerter lanes. The stretch between Bangerter's north/south lanes is way too long, there needs to be another signal. It is very easy to get caught up in between Bangerter (slow traffic, trying to beat the light, cars in front of you yielding trying to make an illegal left turn) and Bangerter's traffic lights can switch to green and there is no way to know whether it is safe to still cross that second half of Bangerter. Also, someone not so familiar with the area can easily overlook that, not realizing there is another road to cross, yet there is absolutely no traffic light telling you whether it's safe or not. This needs to be the same as all the Mountain View Corridor intersections that have a fairly long stretch in between the two sets of lanes. This is such an obvious mistake. I got caught up myself the first day that the left-turn was prohibited, because the car in front of me yielded to oncoming traffic that wouldn't stop until west/east bound was red. Then I was lucky enough to realize it's not safe to cross anymore because Bangerter had since switched to green, and there was NO traffic light for me and not even a "do not turn left" sign for the car that did the illegal left turn.

Please install the missing traffic lights, it will make this intersection a whole lot safer. Until then, this is a death trap!
