Tight turn for trucks creates traffic mess

My Ballard reader Roy Hobbs sent us this picture:

“At least twice a week, I see a truck getting hung up making the right turn from 15th to get on to Market heading east,” he writes. “This snarls traffic for several cycles of the light because the drivers can’t negotiate the turn, especially with the lightpost where it is. I noticed as I was driving by that the lightpost that is being rubbed by the truck in the picture is heavily damaged from previous incidents. Somebody if going to get hurt if the city doesn’t address this problem.” We’ve seen it many times, too, jamming up traffic in the intersection.
