First Coast News spoke to several people who said the intersection was confusing at first. FDOT says its gathered feedback since the U-turn opened in May.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A new traffic pattern at one of Jacksonville’s busiest intersections has caused problems for some drivers.has received calls from viewers about confusion and near accidents at the median U-turn at Southside and Beach boulevard.
Louvers are slats that go on the traffic signal that act as one-way mirrors. The idea is drivers are only supposed to see the light when they are properly positioned in the correct direction. “It’s a lot smoother driving through there, but if you haven’t drove through there yet you’re going to be a little confused," Laura McGugin, said.
McGugin works near the intersection and said she was confused the first time she drove through the traffic pattern. “I had my mom riding with me it’s very confusing I wasn’t sure which way to go thankfully she knows her way around the city, so she helped guide me through it the first time it was very confusing but now it’s pretty convenient."
