Cross Traffic: Tell Us About Laguna Beach's Streets From Hell!

How often do we find ourselves in an impossibly long line waiting to get through an intersection in Laguna Beach, even when it's NOT the summer tourist season? Or at that scary street where you have to nose out into traffic to see what's coming, only to have a speeding SUV nearly clip you? (Woodland Drive and Laguna Canyon Road, we're looking at YOU.)

Everyone has a street or intersection they love to hate...

• The one with the left-turn signal that doesn't let enough cars through each time
• The blind intersection where moving forward means risking a wreck
• The four-way stop that needs a signal
• The street corner where drivers regularly run red lights
• The signal where traffic backs up for miles
• The two-lane road that squeezes cars into a single lane
• The street that's unsafe for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians alike

For several weeks, Patch has been asking readers to vote on their favorite places around Laguna Beach. But we also want to hear about unfavorites—from yuckiest public restroom to worst graffiti—in hopes of spurring public officials, merchants or others to fix things up.

We’re kicking off our Patch Patrol feature with annoying street issues.

Tell us about the street corner you dread the most, where it is and why you hate it. Vent, fume and fulminate all you like, but please keep the language clean. We’ll take nominees this week and vote for the worst traffic nightmare next week.

Here's a few suggestions to get the ball rolling, which include streets and intersections people have complained about publicly:

• Laguna Canyon Road/El Toro
• Coast Highway/Brooks
• Coast Highway/Anita
• Coast Highway/Montage
• Coast Highway/Nyes Place
• The San Francisco-like Third Street hill
• The Laguna Canyon Road Speedway
• The Coast Highway Autobahn
• The Temple Hills Drive Skateway

Tell us your most hated streets and intersections in the comments below.
