Left turns will be restricted along streets where light-rail is constructed, like this stretch of South Congress Avenue near Wasson Road.
City and transit officials want the Orange and Blue lines to run in the middle of the street down thoroughfares like South Congress Avenue, North Lamar Boulevard and Riverside Drive. Allowing cars and trucks to turn left over the tracks wherever they want could slow trains and increase the risk of a crash, officials said.
"Left turns are tricky today and adding the crossing of the rail is just another maneuver that is better done with a U-turn," Annick Beaudet, with the city's Project Connect office, recentlyThe Orange and Blue lines will travel in the middle of the road along major thoroughfares like South Congress Avenue and Riverside Drive.
ATD doesn't know how many intersections would be affected, but expects to produce a list in the coming months. The restrictions on left turns wouldn't take effect until the light-rail lines are constructed.
