Just because you are a traffic engineer, I am supposed to believe you that traffic on Cooper woud not be backed up to Woodhaven with only one lane for through traffic and for left turns? The green on Cooper is no longer than 60 seconds. If one car has to make a left turn, he will hold up all traffic until the opposing traffic passes.What if two cars must make a left? How many cars will be able to get through that light? But wait! Just today I was on Woodhaven on Saturday morning. Hardly the peak. I counted 11southbound cars waiting to make a left onto Metropolitan. That means those 11 cars would have had to make a right on Cooper and a left on Metropolitan. How many cycles would it take for 11 cars to make that left? And while they are waiting to make that left, with only one lane no cars would be able to proceed west on Cooper or Metropolitan. And that is on a Saturday morning at 10 AM. More cars would want to turn left when there is more traffic during the peak hour and there also would be more traffic on Cooper. And you could tell me with a straight face that traffic would move? And we haven't even mentioned trucks. Sorry I don't believe you. |
