Left Turn Lane at the Intersection of N. Pulaski Rd. and W. Devon Ave.
Location: Intersection of N. Pulaski Rd. and W. Devon Ave.
Left turns at this intersection are difficult and dangerous due to speeding cars and limited visibility. Long lines of cars trying to turn left can wait through 3-4 cycles before making it through the intersection. This causes congestion for everyone. Creating a dedicated turn lane will help reduce the congestion and make it easier for cars to turn left

This would require some reconfiguration of existing lanes on the south and north sides of the intersection. South of the intersection, Pulaski appears to be intended as a two-lane roadway, expanding to four lanes only at the approach to the intersection. Instead of this expansion, the left lane could be converted to a dedicated left turn only lane. This should be paired with the installation of a 5-section signal head to support protected left turn phasing if warranted since the safety concern is related to conflicting traffic. South of the intersection, two lanes of traffic must quickly merge into one, creating another significant conflict. By similarly converting the left lane on the southbound approach to a left turn only lane, this conflict can be avoided while also providing storage for left turns. This would also allow space for the left turn lanes to be positively offset to further improve visibility and safety for left turns from Pulaski.
