There would be a crossover at Giovanni's Signs Phil which is already a choke point.

If they switched blue and red north of the junction by Varela's that would work.

It still doesn't solve the other issues I brought up though.

Probably my poor description but I don't see a cross over the way I'm thinking Simon, but I agree there's no perfect solution. Unless you count the Ritchies roundabout but that is the perfect solution to a crossover traffic IF you can get people to understand how and who has right of way - which is a whole new topic.

It seems there is a direct correlation to the size of one's ass and ownership of a golfcart. Walking and biking around town is faster and healthier. blocking off streets to traffic in the center of town and park in the outskirts with delivery trucks at scheduled hours is how other small caribbean island suffering similar problems solved theirs. Why wouldn't we learn from them.

This problem needs a professional traffic engineer. Enough said.

Hey Phil, If you make the red line south then the southbound traffic has to turn left in front of the left turning northbound blue traffic by Giovanni's Signs. Unless of course we are in Britain then it works fine wink

OK I'm an idiot. You are right. So I looked again. Plan B. Blue is Southbound Red Northbound. No crossovers. No traffic engineers. I'm a genius. Until someone spots my latest flaw in Plan B.

Yep, looks like that works as long as they pave all the blue streets.
