not that it has anything to do with the rash of accidents at that intersection lately but that light needs a left turn arrow for north and southbound traffic on oak street.....dont know how many times i've had to sit through 2 or 3 red lights before i can turn onto richmond ave.

Yep,another DOT genius engineering move-first,let's narrow the main arteries to one lane(Ellicott St. and Oak St.).Next,let's not put left turn lights at Richmond. I say the solution would be a roundabout......
