Description
There is no reason to prevent eastbound cars on Bonifant Rd. from turning right (south) onto Notley Road other than to discourage traffic from using Notley Road. No road enters from the left. Waiting for a green right arrow wastes time and gas and increases pollution, and going straight on Bonifant Rd. to turn right (south) on New Hampshire Ave. wastes time and gas and increases pollution.

I think it should be flashing non-morning rush hour.
During rush hour you will end up with a very long line of cars turning right on NH or on Randolph from Sherwood Forest.

It was DOT's solution to prevent cut-through traffic to New Hampshire Ave as well as to Randolph Road (via Sherwood Forest Drive).
In addition, traffic circles were placed to slow traffic along this section of Notley and to further deter large vehicles from using this road. I believe these circles have since been removed.

I understand wanting to cut down traffic during peak hours, but why not a flashing red arrow after the morning rush?
There hasn't been a traffic study there since after the ICC was completed.
In response to NotleyIsntYours: It's not yours either, honey. My taxes help pay for that road that you want restricted to only your privileged families and special snowflake children. If you want that road to yourself so badly, then you can pay for snow removal, hydrant maintenance, pot hole maintenance, resurfacing, re-striping, etc. yourself. If, however, you expect the county to maintain that road, you should be amenable to a more common sense solution.
