I haven't included the AM numbers and this is only one turning direction. This is the peak number and the real average is not given. If the average is actually 25% of that number its over 400,000 per year.
The position against spending money on this shrinks dramatically after 1 year and becomes increasingly less effective argument as time goes on.
Where are you getting information about signaled U-Turns?
You read it wrong, it's not 400 an hour in the PM, its 400 in the peak PM hour. That means 400 at 5 PM and far far less at other times. You even acknowledge this so why make up fake numbers.
Also, per day numbers matter, those 400 people are mostly the same every day.
Information on signaled U-turns is from the report and my experiences.
The point remains, you want to spend an enormous amount of money to slightly convenience hundreds of motorists.
