Walgreens, with the cooperation of the owner of the chain stores at the same Lincoln-Washington corner, is displaying signs aimed to limit the traffic in the shopping center.
What Walgreens and the owner of the chain stores are trying to do is make the entrance to shopping center off of Lincoln only. Exit would be onto Carter with a right turn only leading to the alley or to Washington.
The corner with two ingress/egress openings on Carter is a favorite for overloaded traffic on Washington. Many going east exit Washington at the Oxford light and do the Oxford-Berkeley-Carter trek. Others use the alley paralleling Washington and enter from various streets.
It is also a favorite when traffic wants to go west.
Both cut-through situations are continuous in the Oxford Triangle throughout the day. Residents in the Oxford Triangle certainly do not like the cut-through traffic.
The Oxford Triangle needs a traffic quieting system such as Costco has surrounding their store.
