Description

Heading southbound on Blue Ridge Rd. at the Lake Boone Trail intersection, I was in the left turn lane, waiting to do a U-turn. When I got the green arrow, I started my U-turn, and nearly ran into a car that was turning right from Lake Boone Trail onto northbound Blue Ridge Rd. I looked back over my shoulder and verified that I did not have a sign warning me about people making right turns from Lake Boone Trail, and then I checked the light that was for the driver coming from Lake Boone Trail. He had a green right turn arrow, and there was no sign warning him that he needed to yield to anybody making a U-turn on Blue Ridge Rd. In other words, we both had green arrows indicating that we could do just what we were doing, even though that it was going to put us in the exact same spot on the road at the same time. This is a recipe for a collision at that intersection. This must be fixed now!
