Variant 2: small island on Cerrillos

The situation in Variant 1 leads us to consider regulating the traffic flow on Cerrillos, for example with traffic islands. In the figure to the right, there is an island between the truck entrance and the main entrance. This makes life a bit easier for traffic from the E making the left turn into the main entrance. Ideally, one would have another island south of this one, such that exiting traffic going W would have a safe place from which to merge into the W-bound flow. After that, there would then be a left-turn lane accomodating traffic coming from the E turning into Gilmore. However, there is not enough space to do all this, so that there is the same contention for the center lane in the hatched section.

The small island does not solve many problems. This leads to the next alternative:
