In addition. It requires an average of 5 to 10 minutes to cross the intersection due to lefthand turns and the general uneven flow of traffic on 9th East. The uneven flow of traffic on 9th East going south Is caused to a great extent by the addition of the Thrift City complex and other tributary roads from the last red light at 5600 South.
