Two-way left turn lanes are the worst road design. It makes the road wider and harder to cross for pedestrians, some drivers use it like a driving lane, or even worse like a passing lane. It's basically unused space that can be used much better for literally anything else. Can we get rid of them?

(Turn lanes are fine, but make them dedicated, not just paint, and add them only where needed.)

@sten the maneuver of the green car is not legal in Oregon and several other states. Are there states where it is legal to merge into the center turn lane?

@enobacon Center turn lanes are only for cars to begin with, and if merging into the center turn lane is prohibited, that's removing half of its already limited use! It's one of the worst manifestations of car-only road design!
