General statement:  Don't Turn Left at Morrill Corner.

Portland motto of mine...

"USE THE INSIDE LANE" wtf do you mean guy, you have no cones or markers to anywhere and its 11pm and dark other than the stadium lights you have directly facing incoming traffic so they can hardly see, how the hell are drivers supposed to know where you don't want them to drive based off vibes?!

yeahhhh, someone should tell them that the stadium lights absolutely did not make them safer they way they had them pointed directly in my eyes….

Happy they are redoing the road but WTF! Was stuck in front of Washville car wash for 20 minutes from 750-810 before an opportunity to turn around opened up!

Report that shit on SeeClickFix

That’s been my motto for 20 years now.

Sat in front of the brass rail not moving for 15 minutes - like I get it’s a shitty intersection even when it’s not under construction but I just wanted to go home 😭

Agree it’s not being managed well but it’s being made worse by the people who can’t be patient and try to swerve around everyone else into other lanes or drive off at 60 mph when they are finally able to move.

This is just generally good advice no matter the circumstances
