    one of the many reasons I prefer Independence Ave for my return commute.

    I captured an improper left turner at the start of this video. There’s a straight arrow painted on the lane to remind drivers that that’s a no left turn intersection. Doesn’t seem to be enough?

    Nicely noted.

    I haven’t really paid attention to the road paint, but the signage could be used as an excuse both for misbehavior and under-enforcement because it doesn’t match the straight-only arrow.

    DDOT seems to be having a hard time understanding the situation, which is why I wanted to provide photos. The demonstration and near-collisions were a bonus (from a documentary POV anyway).

    I find that enforcement of traffic laws generally in the District is ABYSMAL! Arlington isn’t perfect, but drivers can expect to get tickets for blatantly breaking the law, at least some of the time.
