Letter: Getting to the medical center shouldn't be this hard

New left turn lanes on Bangerter Highway at 3500 south have motorists crossing several oncoming lanes before they get to the actual intersection. UDOT is implementing the lanes to help with traffic flow. Steve Griffin/The Salt Lake Tribune 09/17/07

I recently had to travel to a medical center at 4100 South and Bangerter Highway; what a mess. What was supposed to save time resulted in taking more time and gas to get back on an east-west road. Most of the time we were traveling in the wrong direction. Whoever designed the new intersection should be fired.
