Hillsborough County residents are growing more irritated with the increase in traffic on Sligh Avenue near I-275.
The main concern is the waiting through lights at intersections, specifically the intersection of Sligh and Nebraska avenues which can take three or four lights to get through for waiting drivers.
One issue is that there is a dedicated turn lane but no dedicated turn signal for drivers going left onto Nebraska Avenue. This can cause traffic congestion during peak hours.
