striping request has been sent to Public Works to clarify lane designations. requester informed of planned action via email
closed: Resolved #149811
Traffic Signals:
Other: 3rd and Jordan, north bound. The new configuration encourages both north bound lanes to proceed north, which is only one lane wide. The left side light should be left turn only, and that lane should be clearly marked left turn only. I took my granddaughter to lots of Nutcracker rehearsals, and this scared me all the time. Hopefully by next years performance this will be fixed. Otherwise an excellent upgrade to this important intersection.

Hi Guy, thank you for submitting this uReport regarding the northbound approach of 3rd and Jordan. You are correct that the left lane should only be for left turns and the right lane is for through vehicles, but it sounds like you've observed some confusion. The left lane currently has a large left arrow painted in it, but I believe there are other markings we could install to provide additional clarification. I'll be contacting our markings crew to ask them to install a dashed line approaching the intersection to channelize northbound vehicles into the right lane (making the right lane the default path). Drivers that want to turn left will choose to enter the left turn lane instead of following the markings and drivers that want to go straight should be more likely to continue into the right lane. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention and please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. - Neil
