Clearly they just need to make the bike lanes bigger

It is WILD to me how fast people drive on this road. I so wish GDOT would care a bit more to find ways to slow traffic down. I’ll drive the speed limit here and still feel like I am flying and yet I am STILL passed. Now just imagine someone walking on the sidewalk. Not friendly at all

The crosswalks here are also perilous. Cars flying down Moreland are trying to turn very fast.

Its a horrible intersection and doesn't belong in an urban environment

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

It is weird though and I have a feeling the reasoning behind it is some version of not wanting to slow drivers down too much on Moreland

They're removing the traffic light at Arkwright and there will be a concrete divider on Moreland so vehicles won't be able to make left turns. So this would actually be further back from the traffic light at Memorial.

I think it's because of the left turn lane, they probably want it to be a certain number of feet before the Memorial drive intersection so people would have to cross an additional lane and without the curb protection in the center

To be clear I'm fine with them restricting vehicle turns, I just didn't know they were pushing the crosswalk so far back and making people walking and biking do a weird U thing instead of being able to go straight across.

Perhaps there's a reason for it I don't understand but 🤷🏼‍♂️
