Thank you for submitting this issue to the City of Portland using SeeClickFix. It has been received as service request ID #71828. Our staff will now begin their investigation.

How about a "RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT" sign or two? And maybe some dotted lines? Not a week goes by without someone posting a complaint about the intersection in question...is Public Works not listening? Waiting for an accident between drivers for whom courteous merging is a major bother?

To the person who has "almost been hit at least 15 times in the past year"...have you thought about approaching the intersection one lane to the left to avoid the problem? Why volunteer 15 times since you seem to know the situation well before you're in it...doesn't make much sense, does it.

The poster might be a safe driver and approach this intersection knowing the possibility of getting into an accident. But how many times have YOU been driving on the road and complained about other people's driving? You cant control how someone else is going to behave. And other people might not have good intentions and be inconsiderate of other drivers. The poster cant control that! Having lines painted at least puts some accountability into the situation.

I assume there are a lot of morons with driver licenses and therefore drive defensively. Complaining about 15 near misses in the same situation just doesn't sound smart or safe. The poster knows the situation is risky yet chooses to not pass thru the intersection one lane to the left thereby avoiding the subject of this complaint. WTF? Dotted lines are no replacement for defensive driving. Maybe the folks at Public Works understand this and have decided to let poor drivers whine while they develop the skills needed to drive in a growing city.

Thank you NeighborhoodWatchTeam1. It doesn't matter which lane you are in at this intersection (except for the left turn lane). People cross from the left lane to the right lane and the right lane to the left lane. People also go straight in the right-turn only lane. The fact this this happens often means this intersection is inherently confusing. Joe F. is clearly trolling and has limited understanding of this issue (he thinks the only problem is people in the right turn only lane going straight). There's only so much you can do when people are merging into you and you are driving correctly. Obviously I approach this intersection knowing the possibility that people merge incorrectly here and am hyper aware of the people around me who might not understand the intersection. But it would be better for everyone if it were made more clear.
