Chick-fil-A's drive-thru lane heightens the odds of traffic collisions and pedestrians getting injured.
Updated on: March 15, 2022 / 3:24 PMChick-fil-A is causing some squawking in Santa Barbara, California, where the fast-food chain is finding itself to be a victim of its own success. Namely, the city is close to dubbing it a"public nuisance" due to long drive-thru lines that often has cars filled with hungry customers backed into the street for hours at a time.
Chick-fil-A's drive-thru lane heightens the odds of traffic collisions and pedestrians getting injured. At peak-volume, the drive-through blocks one lane of traffic for as much as 90 minutes on weekdays and for as much as 155 minutes on Saturdays, according to a city traffic report. Chick-fil-A representatives asked the council to delay the nuisance designation and give it additional time to work on the fixing the problem. The council agreed to continued a public hearing until June 7.
"In the past, it felt like the complaints were taken half-seriously," resident Rick Closson told the Los."Over the years, you've had Chick-fil-A putting together their fixes that really did not do much to fix the traffic problem. But then you have the city coming forward with a possible nuisance title, and the corporation is now saying, 'Oh my goodness, please just give us more time to solve this.
