I don't understand this description. To "turn right" onto main street that means you must be describing coming out of the home depot/train station. Other than someone being confused, I can't imagine someone lining up in the center lane to turn right.

If the issue is people exiting route 8 north and turning right over the bridge from the center lane, that is the way the lanes are marked. If you intend to turn left at Tailgators, that's your lane.

Please please let go of the idea that the solution to traffic problems is 1) traffic quieting, 2) handing out more tickets or 3) lowering speed limits - in the absence of any actual data that says a real hazard exists. "well, some day some idiot might..." do something is not good enough. I don't want to live in an idiot proof society - that never turns out well.

I just "got it" - someone going south on Route 8 doing the 15 mph 180 degree turn, then turning right to go under route 8 - but doing it from the center lane - probably intending to cross the bridge on the left lane. This is all part of the same "mess"... Probably those people have been trapped before with backed up traffic at the red light on the other exit ramp and get blocked and unable to change lanes to get over to the far left lane. The backup across the bridge during peak hours is made worse by that inappropriate stop sign put up on a major street to "solve" the death caused by a drug impaired driver and an inattentive parent. Can we reopen the need for that? I've never seen that flashing signal activated once since it was put up a few years ago

Let's identify the problem instead of the symptom.

Now that I understand the issue, I would challenge the word "clearly". There is no signage one way or the other - the pavement marking with a straight only arrow is barely visible - since we get snow here, pavement only marking is not adequate.

The traffic facing you has a protected turn (albeit maybe too short)... The other exit ramp has 2 right turn lanes for the same reasons.

I'm beating a dead horse maybe, but could we view traffic planning as a way to solve problems, not think up new ways to punish people?

I posted the original concern. I have taken that right turn every morning for eight years now. As I said before, and maybe this logic is only in my mind but with no markings right lane goes over bridge. Center lane straight through intersection to Home Depot and left to downtown Derby. I have rarely seen people line up to intentionally turn right from center unless they couldnt hold their water and then they rapidly jump from the right lane to center thinking they will beat the right turners from the outside by a second. Before they get to the light at tailgaters they move back to the right to avoid the no turn right from center, which IS marked. I have never noticed lines, signs or arrows ever. There may have been in 1999. I misnamed Main Street for 34... And I dont know how I came up with "Clearly" I'm sorry for that confusion. I must have meant clearly in MY mind that without lines or signs the center lane would be just a through lane or marked if a right turn would be allowed. I think there needs to be signs or markings for sure but I am not advocating punishment just enforcement of the law or getting signs to make the intersection more driver safe. So far so good isnt an option either. Maybe I understood this forum was for making people, albiet; city officials and police to take notice of a potential problem from the general population not as soliciting more tickets. As for the stopsign, slowing drivers down and pacing the traffic pattern through that residential area is well worth the 3 seconds I have to stop.

There are 2 sets of signs on the right of the ramp clearly showing middle lane is a straight thru lane and not a right turning lane, The right lane per sign is a right only and the left is for left turns only. The road is painted with 2 sets of arrows within 50 ft of each other, Now they simply need to be heeded.
