As a Campbell resident that drives through this intersection at least twice a day, I believe the traffic burden created by In N Out would be a complete and utter disaster. Traveling eastbound on Hamilton can already tax the patience of a saint. The far right through lane, which exits at 17 Northbound can back up for several stoplight intervals. Cars will use the second to right lane to jump ahead of traffic and then bully their way into the right lane to make the exit ramp, which causes even more delays for those who are abiding by the traffic rules. In my 23 years of living in Campbell, I have never seen a citation written for this.
If you are traveling westbound on Hamilton and wish to make a right turn at Almarida Drive you have about a 50/50 chance of being either blocked from moving to the far right turn lane or being honked at from cars behind you while waiting for an opportunity to get to the turn lane in those SCANT few feet prior to the corner.
I cannot even imagine how we can add one of the most popular drive-through fast food restaurants on the planet to this mix and expect everything to be fine. I urge the council members to PLEASE vote no on the approval to move forward with construction of this restaurant.
