Description
This intersection is confusing and dangerous for cyclists making right turns. Motorists honk and yell at cyclists who try to merge into the Right Turn Lane to wait for the green right turn signal, but waiting in the bike lane impedes traffic flowing straight on Broadway.
How should cyclists use this intersection? Can this intersection be fixed to allow bicycles to make a right on red (with caution, obviously!)? Can pavement markings either be changed or signage improved to make this intersection more clear?

An EXCEPT BIKES placard was previously placed beneath the NO TURN ON RED sign at this location, however that appears to have fallen off of the signal pole at some point during the winter. Our crews have already been notified to replace the sign; it should be reinstalled within the next two weeks.
Thank you for your report.
