Do you know why when going northbound on the 241 Toll Road there is a long barrier between the lanes leading to the transition to go either west or east on the 91 Freeway? You can’t switch lanes if you find that you are taking the wrong exit.At certain times of the day, a lot more motorists want to go east there rather than west. So the Riverside-bound lanes – there are two for each direction – would clog up more than those depositing drivers to the west.
“Adding to the bumper-to-bumper frustration were queue jumpers – drivers who attempted to bypass the congestion by driving in the left two lanes only to cut in at the last minute,” explained, a spokesman for the Transportation Corridor Agencies, which runs that toll road and is one of the entities that signed off on the improvements. “These queue-jumpers created more congestion and safety concerns.

Well, in 2018 and again the next year, they wrote in and suggested a barrier go up dividing the lanes – one suggested using the type of flexible poles that have been deployed for years to separate the 91 Express Lanes from the 91 Freeway. Transportation officials told Honk the first time that the poles wouldn’t fit in there, and the second time that that strategy was among various options getting explored.
Finally, in February 2022, about 800 of the poles – called “channelizers” in transportation circles – were put in to improve traffic flow and safety. They stretch for one mile. New signs and messages emblazoned in the roadway were added as well to help direct motorists into the proper lanes.Palm Springs is holding its Cruising Through the Years Classic Car Parade on Saturday, April 8, celebrating the town’s 85th birthday.
