These queue-jumpers create more congestion and safety concerns.
#91 FREEWAY EXPRESS LANE DETOUR DRIVERS#
Adding to the bumper-to-bumper frustration are queue jumpers – drivers who try to bypass the congestion by driving in the left two lanes only to cut-in at the last minute. With the majority of commuters traveling from Orange County to Riverside and San Bernardino counties in the afternoons, traffic congestion on SR 91 creates queuing on the northbound 241 Toll Road in the two right lanes, while traffic continues to flow in the two left lanes heading west to Anaheim and Yorba Linda. There are four lanes on the northbound 241 Toll Road as drivers approach SR 91 - two lanes on the left merge onto the westbound SR 91 and two lanes on the right merge onto the eastbound SR 91. The channelizers will be visible to motorists as soon as construction starts with daily installations.ĭuring specific construction windows, traffic on the northbound 241 Toll Road in the construction area will be reduced to one lane and the connector to the westbound SR 91 will be fully closed to support timely completion. The goal of the project is to improve traffic flow and promote good driving habits by preventing queue-jumpers, which will enhance safety for motorists transitioning from the 241 Toll Road to SR 91.Ĭonstruction activities are expected to last approximately five days/nights and include new roadway signage, lane striping and the installation of 800 hundred channelizers along the one-mile stretch of road leading to SR 91. (February 9, 2022) - Installation of new vertical channelizer posts on the northbound 241 Toll Road from the Windy Ridge Mainline Toll Point to State Route (SR) 91 is set to begin on February 10, 2022.
