slightly OT

been thinking about this and not sure if this can help solve the traffic in that area

from this

Attachment 33105

to this

Attachment 33106

basically it transfers the u-turn slot going to UP Town for vehicles coming from UP/Balara at the intersection of CP Garcia and Katipunan

* vehicles using the u-turn slot will have a bigger space to maneuver (those who use the current u-turn slot know how difficult it is, not to mention vehicles coming from Ateneo/Miriam seldom yield to you)
* get to make use of the unused road and you are not blocking any traffic with the u-turn divider since the preceding lane from Ateneo/Miriam are used for u-turn as well.
* better merging of traffic for vehicles using the u-turn slot and vehicles coming from Ateneo/Miriam

what do you guys think? what disadvantages do you see? maybe there are things that i'm missing that's why the MMDA hasn't implemented this.

with the current break in the island, u-turners will do a u-turn at any time, then gradually drive to the right, alternating with oncoming traffic, to enter the mall parking. this is what i do when i go there.
with your proposal, i envision that many u-turners will not do a true, tight u-turn as we envision it. instead, they will make a very lazy u-turn, almost a left turn, so's their passengers can alight in front of the mall entrance. it might generate more traffic. also, they can u-turn only when the light is in their favor.
but i might be wrong. trying it out is perhaps the only "let's find out" solution.
