This comment is regarding the State Street and 11400 S intersection. Because I-15 NB is so crowded most rush hour weekday mornings, I end up taking State Street north most mornings from Draper to Sandy. Frequently I and many others run into the problem of traffic going northbound on State Street starting to back up badly at the 11400 S intersection. See the attachment for one morning, which shows traffic backing on State Street from 11400 S all the way down to 11800 S by Lone Peak Hospital. That's a long way for traffic to clog up to, and it takes forever to get through with the light cycles set up at the State Street and 11400 S intersection. (Side note: The left-turn lane onto 11400 S isn't long enough, which is another source of backing things up.) I often decide to turn right at 11800 S to go through little neighborhood side streets instead to route around the problem. Anyway, in the attachment you can see that only northbound State Street is red and backed up, and none of the other directions through the intersection are. This is a common occurrence the past few months. My suggestion would be to give more priority to northbound State Street traffic going through the intersection. Thanks so much for all you do! =)
