Space Analysis

This is how the T-junction is like which connect Geyser Avenue with the Nordhoff Street, and it is close to my place. I took these pictures at night, but I think they still showed how inconvenient the road is. We can see in the picture that this T-junction doesn’t have a traffic light，that makes it an architectural design issue. On the left side of this T-junction is a crossroad connects Yolanda Avenue with the Nordhoff Street, and this crossroad has a traffic light. In addition, the left side of the T-junction is the crossroad connect Wilbur Avenue with the Nordhoff Street, which is a little further from the T-junction. In my opinion, it is very inconvenient for us to drive through that T-junction, especially turn left at the T-junction. Because the only chance we can get to turn left is wait for there is no cars on two lanes. However, the two traffic lights on the crossroad beside the T-junction have a very little chance to turn red at the same time, so I waited almost five minutes every time for turn left at this T-junction.

It would be so much better if there were a traffic light there. Although it is a small T-junction, but it is near neighborhoods, so there are a plenty of vehicles go through this area every day. Having a traffic light on the T-junction will save people much time there; also provide convenience for the neighborhoods.

The picture above is taken at the Reseda Boulevard, the situation is that there is a plaza on the left hand of Reseda Boulevard, and there is no traffic light near the plaza. The road near the plaza is happen to be a ascent, and the only traffic light near the plaza is on the ascent, that makes we can’t see the traffic light when want to turn left on the Reseda Boulevard.

Not only we can’t see the traffic light, but also we barley see those cars passed by because of the ascent. Therefore, I recommend that build a traffic light at the entrance of the plaza, just like those traffic lights at the entrance of free way.
