	From what I've seen living in Trent before they put in that
sign, this seems like the most plausible reason for why they don't
want people to turn left there.  Now, if so, wouldn't it make sense
just to put up a sign and tell people not to turn left from
4:30pm to 6pm?

	There are quite a few other intersections that are even worse
than Flowers/Erwin for turning on.  For example, I'd say the Alexander/Erwin
is worse for turning left because it's at the bottom (or what seems like)
of a pretty big hill and one just can't get a really good view in both
directions.  Assuming #3 is correct, why would the Alexander/Erwin
intersection not warrant a no left turn sign?

	I don't know if this is so much an issue any time other than
during "rush hour."  I've never noticed a really long wait time
(back when I lived in Trent and it was legal to turn left)
