The Yankee idea is not a bad one, but might be hard to do. Relieving the congestion at Long Beach Road and 211 will be easier. I think the reason for all the turns in the proposed road is to protect the wetlands. I am not sure that even this will help the left turn problem. Somehow, those turning down the beach road need to either go over or under traffic headed toward Southport, similar to what they have when crossing the Isabel Holmes bridge in Wilmington entering the MLK Parkway, and get rid of the light. I am certainly not a traffic engineer, but if a way can be found to keep everybody moving, that would be a step in the right direction.
