Make the Right Hand Lane on N Cass Ave a Right Turn Only Lane

The Issue

(Intersection by Nature’s Best)

1–7 E Chicago Ave
Westmont, IL  60559
United States

Locals and foreigners alike experience frustration every day at the intersection of N Cass & Chicago/Naperville. There are constantly back-ups from vehicles merging immediately after the light. Additionally, annoyance manifests as motorists, uncaring of those around them, overtake others mercilessly in their hurry to get ahead. Converting the right-hand lane on N Cass Avenue into a right turn only lane would mitigate this issue effectively. 

Establishing a right turn only lane has proven to promote road safety and traffic fluidity in many junctions around the globe. According to a study by the Federal Highway Administration, providing exclusive right turn lanes at intersections led to a significant decrease in accidents (1). This not only creates a safer environment for all road users, but also enhances the traffic flow and reduces unnecessary congestion.

 

Please sign this petition to lobby for the transformation of N Cass Avenue's right-hand lane into a right turn only lane, to ensure safety and enhance the traffic flow for everyone using this intersection. Thank you.

 

Lol that was mostly written by AI, but seriously this lane needs to go. MAKE IT HAPPEN WESTMONT!!!
