Traffic lights were installed at the intersection of Pell St and the Bowery several weeks ago which left some residents scratching their heads. The Lights located between Bayard and Doyers street left locals confused when they crossed and were met by a traffic barrier separating the north and south bound traffic lanes.
Old timers remarked the traffic light would have made sense 20 odd years ago when northbound traffic was permitted to make a left turn onto Pell Street. No word from DOT whether a pedestrian crosswalk is to follow.
