Street & Traffic Signs:

Other: There are signs at this intersection for vehicles turning right onto Kirkwood that say "YIELD" but I think that it would be helpful if the signs were more explicit. I am confused by them because in general left-turning traffic must yield to right-turning traffic but there is also a crosswalk at that point, which makes me wonder if the yield is for pedestrians who are crossing or left-turning traffic. In addition, the bike lane has two exits near there; I think that one of the exits is for bicyclists who want to continue on Adams and the other (at the crosswalk) is for bicyclists who want to turn right. Is the yield sign to tell vehicles to yield to bicyclists entering the roadway and turning right, for pedestrians crossing, or for traffic? Explicit signs would be helpful for all parties at this intersection.

Existing Yield signs require traffic from Adams to yield to all traffic on Kirkwood before making this right turn. As with any other crosswalk, vehicles are required to yield to people within the crosswalk. There is already a warning sign to draw extra attention to the crosswalk. Additional signage is not expected to be beneficial. No constituent contact information provided.
