This <br />would impact vehicles trying to change lanes, to either turn left at Tustin, or move out of the <br />slow right lane to proceed straight ahead. Vehicles turning right on Tustin will have to either <br />wait till vehicles in the drive-thru line get on the curb, or switch a lane to move around <br />(sounds like a possible accident to me) <br /> <br />Traffic flow on 17th & Tustin will be severely impacted in all directions as well as entrances <br />to the 55 Freeway north and south <br /> <br />More traffic accidents due to vehicles trying to move in and around busy intersection <br /> <br />More traffic and pedestrian accidents due to people dodging cars to cross the street and enter <br />the restaurant <br />
