Deskripsyon

There is a yield sign from Rt. 9 North turning right onto 9R heading to Cohoes. When coming off Alt. Rt 7 and crossing Rt. 9 straight on to 9R, cars should yield to my car so I can get in the lane I need to be in to turn right on to Old Loudon Rd. Same goes for turning left on to 9R from Rt. 9 coming south. 95% of the cars pull right through the yield sign, not even slowing down causing me to slam on my breaks and try to squeeze in so I can turn right on to Old Loudon Rd. Why doesn't anyone slow down or yield to traffic? What can be done to fix this?

I think that the situation here is that there are already 2 lanes headed eastbound on Route 9R, so traffic should be able to open up by the time you need to merge right for the turn onto Old Loudon Rd.

Otherwise what happens is you wind up stuck behind all the people turning left at the light before Latham Ford.

Agreed. Daily I make a left turn from rt 9 south heading onto 9R and cars coming northbound on rt9 making that right don't even acknowledge oncoming traffic at the yield more than half the time. With a stoplight by Latham Ford, the traffic gets congested and God forbid you have to get in the right lane to turn right onto Old Loudon Road. And I am the one that gets flipped off... maybe it will take a few sideswipes for this to be acknowledged and fixed. Clearly a yield sign only does not resolve the issue. The lane is long enough up Rt 9 north to allow for a turn signal to be installed. They did it a few years back on the intersection of Old Loudon and 9R. What would it hurt? Or better yet, who would it NOT hurt?

The right lane from US 9 northbound towards NY 9R towards Cohoes do not need a YIELD sign, due to the fact that there are already 2 lanes headed eastbound.
