Description
The road has changed in front of the Mobile and Wallgreens on Whalley. What once was a two straight lanes and a turn lane into Wallgreens from Whalley going towards New Haven from Exit 59 off CT15 is now one SINGLE straight lane and the two outside lanes are turn lanes only. NO ONE IS FOLLOWING THE RULES! This is now causing major traffic problems because people are treating the far right turn lane into a straight lane. Near accidents are a common thing now. Worse then before. If you are going to change the flow of traffic, make it a forced issue. Get an officer out there to direct traffic, put up a turn barrier to maintain the turning traffic. Something must be done - this is absurd. Otherwise, whats the point in having the change anyway?

I don't think its up to SCF to fix the issues, but its up to the City/State agencies that oversee these issues to atleast respond somehow. This issue is acknowledged, but I see no comments from any City/State agencies. Maybe they figure once construction is completed it will work itself out- now it's 10 months later........Do I hear another theme of WHY DOESN'T THE NHPD ISSUE ANY TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE CLEAR VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW !!!
Won't see me in that area patronizing businesses- avoiding it like the plaque- too many drivers making their own rules.

This is a state project which will be a year before completion. The state will be contacted to see if some temporary changes are possible to alleviate congestion at this intersection. Your concerns are noted and we will follow up as more information becomes available.
Thank you.

Update on this area for those interested in getting more information concerning the current street layout due to re-design of the roadway by the state. If you go to this link:

zoom to the intersection of Whalley Ave & Emerson St and click on the flag, there is additional info provided. Details on the project are included.
