The intersection of Western Blvd and Boylan Ave remains a problem. In the last three days I have nearly been hit by a car that did not recognize the red light as relevant to their desire to turn left from Western onto Boylan and seen three other cars turning onto Western from Boylan run the red light for pedestrian crossing. Cars do not know where to stop (for westbound traffic on Western some go through the intersection and stop by the walkway others stop before the intersection, eastbound cars on Western turning left onto Boylan do not always stop before the crosswalk but seek to turn while the cars are stopped on Western). All of this is very hazardous for pedestrians and motorists. Is there some kind of signage to alert those turning onto Western from Boylan that they should be alert to the possibility of a red light at the crosswalk? Should the crosswalk be moved? Is there a sign to inform turning traffic from Western onto Boylan about where to stop or can an additional light be placed over the turn lane? I don't know the best solution, but this is an ongoing problem.

When traveling in either direction on Glenwood Avenue, it is extremely unsafe to make a left turn onto either Whitaker Mill Road, or Fairview Road. Drivers who attempt to turn left on the solid green light (not the green arrow) cannot see far enough ahead to know if the intersection is clear. This intersection is confusing enough without this added safety concern. I've seen many accidents here and was in one myself when I tried to turn left here. If you don't turn left on the solid green, the drivers behind you will get angry and try to drive around you, which is even more dangerous. The addition of a No Left Turn arrow on this traffic signal would solve this problem. I can't believe that hasn't been done already!
