Is "navigating the one-ways" a problem for people? Serious question. AFAIK, the only reason they were converted to paired one-ways in the first place was to make them into better crosstown routes for through traffic. If that's actually something that prevents people from using them that way, then first off that's ironic, and second off maybe someone ought to think about making Warren two-way again. Personally, the light timing on Forest/Warren bothers me a lot more than the paired one-way configuration in terms of using it as a crosstown route.
