Question:

Dear Chief,

Thanks for all you do for Lakewood residents. I am often stuck at the Prospect/Cross corner during high-traffic times. Waiting to get onto Cross from Prospect can take about 15 minutes. What adds to the frustration is when cars go up Prospect on the left turn only lane and then cut in front of the whole line that’s waiting and make a right turn. This happens MULTIPLE times EVERY TIME I wait at that corner. It’s not a one time thing. It’s an easy way to beat the traffic. It’s illegal, it’s inconsiderate, and makes all the people waiting to make right turns legally wait even longer. What can be done to stop this behavior?

Thank you again!

The Chief’s response:

Thank you for your question and we will be sure to keep an eye out for violators.
