Anyone have any idea why the barrels are blocking the left turn lane from Fancher onto Valley?  Doesn't make sense to me why this lane is being barricaded.

saves a bunch of time over the old intersection that use to back up down Valley Ave. in the mornings.

To be honest, it looks weird driving down Alford/Fancher from 65, where its a normal one lane back and forth opposite direction residential street, then all of a sudden it widens, and the gets narrow again. I was talking to somebody, and he was surprised that the road was placed there and why was the house (one you see before the road turns from Fancher to Tyler), not demolished. I told him that maybe somebody lived there, maybe its historic, or it just wasn't the right fit. I will see in the morning time, If I am at the light and its red, If I am on Tyler trying to right onto fancher/alford, I need to be careful with cars going straight on alford coming from my left, especially if they are driving fast. What I also don't understand is why is it if you are on Alford coming from 65, and you are planning on turning left at the light to connect to Tyler, why is there a left turn arrow on the ground, that if somebody were to turn exactly where that arrow was they would turn up on to concrete and into somebody's home. Then there is another arrow right where it should be at the light. Was the one before that an accident, or is it a warning arrow?

This is called a warning arrow...they are very common around most parts of the city/state/country.  Most people realize you don't turn where the arrows are, but instead where the road is.
