My gripe with that intersection is that traffic really backs up on Morse during busy times and isn't cleared by the light cycling. Agree that there should be long, dedicated right turn lanes with right turn on red allowed at all times.

Another problem at that intersection is that they changed the arrow for a left turn from southbound Morse to eastbound 44 to a dedicated turn. That is absolutely ridiculous. There is no visibility issue whatsoever, you can see northbound morse traffic 3/4 mile away. So at off times when there is little traffic you just sit there with nobody coming for a full cycle of the light. When traffic is heavy, that lane backs up and you sit there for 3 or 4 cycles, even if there is no northbound traffic. People on this site in past threads have claimed this is "safer". My response is learn to drive.
