Right, but there are not currently any southbound lights at M and NJ or M and NY because the southbound traffic is diverted into the double light on 3rd. So under plan 3 you end up with 3 southbound lights (3rd and M, NJ and M, NJ and NY) where there currently only 2 (3rd and M, 3rd and NY).

My concern is that the light timing at the existing southbound double light onto NJ is pretty bad, with traffic often backing up and box blocking the NJ and N intersection (for whatever reason, M doesn't get box blocked, though westbound traffic through 3rd is light to nonexistent). Moving the southbound double light to NJ, and puting the lights closer together, AND creating a single right turn lane on to NY rather than the current double right turn could make the NJ backup worse, unless major timing changes are made on NJ and NY
