Believe me, i agree with you 100%. They have completely fucked up Lag and will continue to make it worse. I am no traffic engineer but adding more turn lanes at each light is like trying to put a band-aid on an amputation. The only way i can see them fixing it is by grade separating the majority of the intersections.

We all know when that will happen......with the City as backwards as it is, they will start grade separating our highways right when flying cars become common place.
