Description
Going south down 5600 W. with the way the concrete barriers are positioned and the lack of lighting around, turning off of 5600 W. onto 3575 S. is basically a blind turn where you can’t see if anyone is crossing the street or another car is headed east on 3575 S. toward 5600

It's even worse when you're trying to turn onto 5600 W from 3575 S, especially when you're in a car. I suppose you could probably see over the barrier in a truck or SUV, but normal passenger cars are lower to the ground and it's really hard to see if there's any southbound traffic on 56th.
Also, the barriers almost extend out into the intersection, so you have to make a really sharp turn if you're turning right onto 3575 from 5600.
This intersection is a mess and it would be a really easy fix to just reposition those temporary barriers. This is one of the only entrances and exits from this neighborhood with 5600 W and 3500 S restricted for MVC construction.
