- Willis Avenue and Jericho Turnpike
- Roslyn Road and Jericho Turnpike

Why would DOT have a left turn lane only both ways @ Mineola Blvd. & Jericho trnpke., but NOT have a left hand turn signal as well? There's an accident in the making here.

They changed the lanes and never put up signs, they only changed it by painting different arrows on the road. Every time I am at that intersection I almost see an accident. People who are heading North don't realize that the people in the Southbound right lane are going to go straight, because they used to only be able to turn right (not that they didn't sometimes go straight anyway). So, the southbound people turning left have to slam on their breaks when the northbound right lane people go straight. I don't know if the DOT thought they were solving some problem, but they have caused a very dangerous situation.

Ridiculous driving. Bus going through a red light and a moron in a car following right behind. People need to slow down, before someone gets killed!
