They should just make the outer lane straight only, because 2nd street is 1 lane only. If the outer lane car is making a left turn onto 2nd, they need to merge into 1 lane while turning, it is more accident waiting to happen.

Most times everyone knows to use only the left most lane to turn, but i have encountered few instances that the outer lane driver trying to turn as well, and most are **** going at full speed forcing the car in the inner lane to hit the break and allow them to merge while turning.

Youbetcha !!

What part of "a car hit the back of a POLICE motorcycle" didn't you get?

I drove by this last night and couldn't figure out why they needed so many cops on the scene. Most of the cops were standing around watching.

Bystander told me that black car ran into the back of a police motorcycle that was turning left from Washington on to Second Street. They might not noticed that there are two left turn lanes, but because construction blocks right two lanes - confusion and speed of cars can be a bit of a hazardous mix at any time of day or night.

Not sure why they needed eight cops to respond to a minor accident.

There were 5 police cruisers at the intersection, looks serious. There was a cop taking photos of a black bmw, and they blocked off the left turn into 2nd st.

I drove by but couldnt see much...
