Accident on Route 50
The left lane on Route 50 West bound is closed due to an accident. This is in the area of the Royal Farms and the Route 13 bypass. Please use caution in this area.

The MSP had a reconstruction team there. Was it a fatal?
Um, 5:20, I am unaware of any intersections between Royal Farms and the Bypass merge. Why would you want a traffic light where there is no intersection?
There was a lot of discussion about traffic issues when this site was under review and up for approval.
There is far too much going on in a small space, and when it's busy a driver cannot check all of the traffic coming at them before moving into the intersection.
Traffic going east could exit on Bus 50 and turn at the light to come back on the flyover going west. Suppose it's a bit more tan a mile total.
Going back east would require merging onto 50 west and getting to the left lane pretty quickly to U turn; traffic is moving pretty quickly when you merge.
In the mix whether any changes are made is that a great many tourist motorists are unfamiliar with the intersection thus increasing the odds of continuing heartbreak.
If they are unfamiliar and do not want to turn there, they can just continue on until there is a place they do feel comfortable with. It is not busy at all to make turns or merge. It is impatience that causes these accidents. If not, they would already do what you describe.
WOW!!! 9:59AM If you travel that area much you would know that there is alway an accident!! There !And because someone doesn't want to stop some where because they feel it unsafe doesn't mean they need driving lessons!LOL

Um, 6:29 p.m., I don't see where 5:20 p.m. mentioned an "intersection".
The turn lanes need to be removed - no turns at Royal Farms from 50 east. Go up to next exit and do a u turn to get to RF.

Stopped at that Royal Farms once in the summer and decided never again because it is so hard to get back on the road safely.

then you need driving lessons before you kill somebody

12:40, Thanks from 8:39. I didn't feel like wasting my time responding to the DA.
