Traffic Problems is an image-based game where a user posts a problematic intersection within their area or through recollection and we work to improve it through renderings (image or otherwise)!

I will start:
S Zero St & US 271

There is confusion at this intersection regarding left turns, due to there being an option lane. I would convert the left turn into a committed left and allow for a right option lane [OR: widen the northern side to three lanes with a thru lane, committed left and right+opt turns]. With PLT 5 section facing north.
Well, that's just like your opinion man...

So, basically, it's this thread?
Or is there some subtle difference?
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Darn, I only did a search for threads of similar names to this one... ☹️

I was thinking about a more visually based game, but if there's already a thread I'll let it be... Damn

That is the dumbest worst intersection I have ever seen.  There has to be a "worst of" thread for roads in general because holy christ!!

The yield sign conflicting with the signal. Really?

That Yield must be a safe-guard for people turning right to not just dart out into traffic.

There already seems to be a thread for intersections though. :(

I think what we need for this intersection is new signals, Get a flashing yellow arrow in here and the cantilever facing south needs to be longer. Also yellow reflective borders, so the cantilever would look like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.364611,-71.17604,3a,15y,93.82h,99.15t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6OOa0pScLX7BbqchfzIV7Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

And on the side streets it would have right turn signals like this:https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2818346,-71.4152708,3a,15y,219.67h,96.59t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s16qu9LJvmL8ekzyG2fpiOA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
