Where is the Other Lane?

Question:
Where the 215 & I-15 exit onto Las Vegas Blvd there is only one left turn lane northbound. Every time I take this route it is backed up! Why is there not another turn lane?

Answer:
The county knows about this issue. The problem is the islands on Las Vegas Blvd. stick out to far to allow dual left turn lanes.
A project to widen Las Vegas Boulevard is in the final phase of project design, and will be underway in early 2010.
Las Vegas Blvd. will be widened to 6 lanes from Silverado Ranch to Sunset, and will include dual left turn lanes, the outer lane being a through lane. Any further frustration you experience when you exit Las Vegas Blvd. will be temporary. This problem is already on the way to being fixed.
