John’s Question:  John wrote in and says he is baffled by a couple of signs at the intersection of the premium outlet mall! He says:                                                                                               
When driving south on Grand Central Parkway passing the outlet mall, there’s an intersection with a traffic light. There are two signs posted on the light pole, one says “no u-turns” and the other says, “no turns.” These signs would indicate that a right-hand turn into the outlet mall driving south where there is generally access to the parking garage would be illegal. John’s confused by these signs and he may not be the only one.Melissa’s Answer:I spoke to the City and they said the signs were meant to show drivers traveling south on Grand Central Parkway at the outlet mall -that there are no left turns and no u-turns allowed there. They weren’t meant to direct drivers who were trying to make a southbound right turn into the mall. City authorities say they understand why this may have caused confusion–with the signs sitting right next to each other. The city will now be removing them and just one sign will be placed letting drivers know that u-turns and left-turns are not allowed.
