Considering how many cars use that area, I feel like it moves decently. I can't really come up with a plan to improve it. Got any ideas?

People are forever screwing up when turning from Campbell left onto Republic. They think there are two left turn lanes and will block traffic on Campbell trying to make their left turn work out. Making that turn lane more obvious and distinct would be an easy, helpful thing.

I agree, that bit is tricky especially if you aren't familiar with it.

Or, especially if going northbound from Campbell and turning west onto Republic, the turning lane is just not long enough and cars are pushed out into the ave anyway

Was talking with my mom about it last night and came up with a good idea that is probably unrealistic. Take the highway underground and smooth out S Campbell and take out all this intersections

Would that mean not being able to access Campbell from the freeway? Or would that access be moved?

So you take out the intersection at 60 and Campbell. Now you can't get on or off the highway?

If you go underground you still have just as many connections you have to make to keep access, you've just inverted the problem, not fixed it.

Not to mention taking it all underground would be hundreds of millions. The existing bridge and existing infrastructure immediately around it alone is 50+ million worth.

All of that to say, every person in the city would need to pony up $1000-$2000 for that project.
