Ramps stationed around the city so we could all jump General Lee-style over stuff.

Covered bike/pedestrian paths from UNL & Shopping malls to your neighborhood.

Round abouts are great…but when you start piling on the yield signs and whatnot it becomes a giant jughandle like we have in NJ

First the Brittish ruin our language, now we are letting them ruin our intersections.

Right in front of LSW.  I think roundabouts are great where there are new drivers…you really can’t go THAT fast around them, and you have to learn to yield.

I’ve always been a fan of the ones on Sheridan…they’ve really improved those 2 intersections, in my opinion.

How will they make a roundabout on 14th that is going to improve the merge onto Cornhusker?  I need someone to draw me a picture please.

I have another traffic question.  In this state, does a double yellow line on a four lane street mean no left turn across two lanes of oncoming traffic?  As I try to recall my drivers manual it is kind of foggy.

Specific point of irritation is 27th where Southbound drivers stop and wait to turn into the u-stop and Northbound drivers stop and wait to turn into Ideal.

Thanks….Now I can see.

According to the Nebraska Driver’s Manual:

Double solid yellow lines mark the center of the road and separate oncoming traffic. Passing is not allowed in either direction. Making a left turn is the only lawful crossing allowed over double yellow lines, when turning into or from an alley, private road, or driveway unless otherwise prohibited by signs.

The pic helps - Thx.

I still don’t see why we need this - I’m not aware of a lot of accidents (or even much traffic) along that merge.

Perhaps, by getting rid of the merge lane off of 14th, UNL gets another sliver of land for its research park?

The roundabout at 14th and Cornhusker makes a lot of sense to me.  I drive that intersection 3-4 times a week and I can see two problems with the current set up:

1.)Merging from northbound 14th onto Cornhusker, especially during high-traffic times.  It’s very hard to accurately look over your left should to see if anyone is coming from the west.  It essentially requires a complete stop before merging onto Cornhusker, which very few people do.  Every few weeks I see near accidents at this point.

2.) Turning south onto 14th street from the Cornhusker off-ramp.  It’s hard to see the fast approaching traffic coming from the north over the overpass.  I frequently see southbound cars slam on their brakes or make last second lane changes to avoid rear-ending a car that just pulled out in front of them.  Also, during high traffic times the off-ramp can get backed up all the way to Cornhusker causing congestion for the eastbound traffic.

I don’t know this for sure, but I would guess that this roundabout is projected to help handle what will be an increased traffic flow through this intersection once all of the Antelope Valley roadways are completed in the next few years.
