Description
When you're driving down Concord Rd from Aston into Garnet Valley, the road turns briefly into two lanes for the traffic light at Chichester Ave. There is a right turn lane for anyone turning onto Venuti Drive into the small development, and there is a forward / left turn lane which invariably gets backed up with cars waiting to turn left onto Chichester Ave.
It makes no sense to have a right turn lane for the few cars turning onto Venuti Drive while holding up traffic for the much larger number of cars trying to turn left onto busy Chichester Ave.
As a result of this poor planning, drivers who want to go straight tend to veer into the right turn lane to get around the left turn traffic, which can lead to accidents.
Those lanes should be changed so that there is a left turn lane and a forward / right turn lane.

I'm not sure if this is Aston or Bethel. I once looked into buying a house on Chichester Ave just a few doors down from here and was told that for some purposes (mail, schools, police) it was Aston & Bethel for others. Or like AT55 said, it might be a state road.
So, I just wrote to our state Rep. Leanne Krueger-Braneky in the hope that her office can help, or at least let us know who to talk to about it. I'll update later with the reply.

Here's the reply I got - I'll update when I've gotten more info:
"Thank you for contacting Rep. Leanne Krueger-Braneky’s Office regarding Concord Road. Rep. Krueger-Braneky asked me to contact Department of Transportation in regards to this matter. Once their representative communicates with me as to their findings, I will promptly forward the information to you."
