RAVE: New left turn light at 35th and Avalon!

FINALLY!! Yesterday on my way home from work I noticed they had turned on the left turn lights at 35th and Avalon! Woohoo! no more waiting 4 lights to turn left during rush hour traffic!

Nuni, I noticed them being installed a few weeks ago, but had since forgotten about that. Great news! this intersection really needed a left turn signal!

Are the turn arrows for traffic on 35th both directions or for traffic on Avalon both directions? I hope for all four directions.

I agree flowerpetal. Coming down the 35th hill and trying to take a left on Avalon is pretty bad with traffic, let alone making the vehicles behind you back up as well. It’d be great to have a left turn arrow there as well.

Thanks for mentioning this, I’ve been waiting to mention it on the HP till they finally unbagged the lights. Guess we didn’t go that way yesterday. I don’t think it’s all four ways, could be wrong, will check as we’re going out on a photographic reconnaissance mission for something else.

No, not all four ways. The left-turn arrows are only for Avalon to 35th, not 35th to Avalon. I admittedly am usually commuting by bus, but I don’t think a left from 35th onto Avalon is too difficult, assuming it’s not being attempted during the “off-limits” rush-hour time.

When one is northbound on 35th and wanting to turn left onto Avalon, it is quite challenging. I make that turn once a week and there is lots of southbound 35th traffic to contend with… lots!

I too am a daily bus rider; but not for this particular outing.

Flowerpetal, I was thinking about the turn from southbound 35th and admittedly didn’t give much thought to northbound. You’re right, that direction is much more challenging, especially since there’s rarely a break in that traffic. Point well-taken!
