But y’all are falling into the same trap. Thinking anything that obstructs traffic is good for you and who cares about accidents? They happen to “those others”.
If you read my post you should see that I agree with the same goals yet disagree with the method. This ad hoc vigilantism is not traffic calming, it’s driver endangering.
A turn lane is not a road widening, encouraging speeding, this one is a poor implementation that looks like a wide open lane to someone who ignores driving rules. There are better implementations that don’t.
A turn lane is also not a median, point me to a definition that says it is. They have completely different goals and characteristics, but the problem here is cheapening out on road design such that the turn lane is continuous with the road, marked only by paint, and the paint is almost faded
