Description

The exit ramp from I-91 and Route 15 southbound onto East Main St was repaved and the lines were repainted a few months ago. In the process they made the breakdown lane much wider. Now many drivers seem to think that it is a right turn lane. This is very dangerous. Drivers that are making a right turn onto East Main from the ACTUAL right lane have to be extremely cautious to avoid the drivers that are simultaneously attempting to turn from the breakdown lane. This was not a problem before the lane lines on the ramp were repainted. Something should be done to make it more obvious that the breakdown lane is not a travel lane.
