Joe from Denver writes, “What's driving you crazy? Why isn't there an arrow to turn left onto Dahlia from Westbound Hampden Ave? This is already a bizarre intersection and with so much eastbound traffic, you have to run the light to turn left. I sat behind a driver who sat at the light for 3 light cycles as they couldn't figure out to go when the light turned yellow. I gave up and had to go up to the next turn.
When going west on Hampden you have a left turn waiting area that allows for vehicles to cue up to make either the left turn onto Happy Canyon or onto Dahlia. The problem is that the traffic volume on eastbound Hampden is so great, especially during the commute times, it is nearly impossible to make that turn while the light is still green. The closest traffic count monitors along Hampden are at Colorado Blvd to the west and at Ivy Way to the east of Dahlia.
Another benefit to a new signal would be a safer turn. I looked through Denver Police crash data at that intersection and I counted 83 crashes over the past 5 years. A dedicated left turn arrow could make that part of the intersection movement safer and could help to reduce crashes.
