One participant highlighted the frustration of drivers who often wait multiple light cycles to proceed, leading to risky behavior such as running red lights. This issue not only affects traffic flow but also raises safety concerns for pedestrians and other motorists.
Additionally, traffic issues were reported near Brigham Young University (BYU), specifically at the conference center where right turns onto 900 East have become increasingly problematic. The congestion extends to the intersection with University Avenue, with some drivers experiencing wait times of up to 20 minutes to make a right turn. The situation has worsened since BYU restricted access through its campus, prompting the university to conduct its own informal traffic study to address the growing concerns.
Local officials are urged to consider potential solutions, such as allowing additional right-hand turns at critical intersections, to alleviate the mounting traffic challenges faced by commuters in the area.
