Main St traffic and the new Bus Only lanes |
|
Posted by gbs on Wed Nov 25 03:09:39 2015 Now that the Bus Only lanes have been installed along Main Street in Flushing in anticipation of SBS starting next Sunday, many car and truck drivers already honor them (though I've seen no enforcement yet and no regulatory signs have been displayed yet), reducing Main Street to a one-lane road in each direction along much of its length in busy neighborhoods, so traffic is much worse. Some new "No Left Turn" restrictions have been installed at certain intersections, but at others, where left turns are still allowed, a car waiting to make a left turn completely blocks traffic in the one lane allotted to regular vehicles, and it is not clear if cars are allowed to enter the Bus Only lane to pass a left-turning car waiting to turn. Maybe these are only growing pains. Have these issues been resolved along other SBS routes? |
