Okay, New Plan

So there's an off-ramp from the highway, where there is an island right where it meets the cross street. Left turns go to the left of the island, right turns to the right. Except for people who aren't paying attention and try to switch lanes at the last moment. They go into the barriers designed to protect pedestrians crossing the island. It seems that the barriers are replaced about once a month, someone is always running into them. If I remember correctly, there had been a bus stop there for a while... although I suspect that people quickly found it too nerve-wracking and/or actively dangerous to use.

There's a part of me that says it's only a matter of time until they redesign the intersection into something more standard, rather than constantly replacing the fences they've placed. But infrastructure can be stubborn, especially when tax receipts are are down. So we'll see how long it is until something is done. But it's going to have to happen at some point.
