It isn’t the lack of flashing or active red lights. It’s the mere fact that as we have all said, “No one pays attention anymore.” There was once a time where our local and state law enforcement officers were able to monitor and ticket those who violate traffic law, yes even right there in that same area you’re all addressing. . But because of STATE BUDGET CUTS and staff cuts the county doesn’t have the funds to monitor our highways as they were able to do in the past. If there is a STATE LEO patrolling the area you can almost bet that same officer is called 30 to 50 miles away to handle the same type of accident elsewhere. If there is a county officer he/she may be doing the same in the opposite direction. My point is, polling for a light isn’t going to bring you anymore benefit than a light sitting within the city of Pensacola where accidents happen on a daily basis.

If you all want our laws changed, addressed or raised concerns from our traffic to, gun control, where our teens are shooting one another, to break in and assaulting cheerleaders or the elderly. As it’s been shown that crime despite it’s level and degree doesn’t show a age or race to be a victim. At some level we are all being victimized so, pull together, intelligently and get the laws addressed and or modified. It isn’t to be done here. Certainly feel free to discuss and share your opinions with each other. What I’m saying is if you want change just know it will not be done through a blog. With each and every concern I have ever read on these blogs, it all needs to be address at your “STATE LEGISLATOR.” So contact your state/local government officials. Speak out and be heard in a manor that will go beyond a typed concern here within the site. Because entrust they, they being the persons that are in charge or changing, adding or modifying our laws, they are NOT sitting here reading these blogs, and they are certainly not addressing the concerns that you all share collectively and or as individuals. Your voices must be heard and at the highest levels.

I didn’t write this to step on anyone’s toes or hurt anyone’s feelings, so if my entry has done such I do apologize. I did write this for you to address your concerns where they will be heard collectively/individually.

Good luck and God bless us all!

The flashing red lights at the intersection of rtes 97 with 29 can be seen for 1/2 mile, just what would a traffic light do there that is not already being done? All that a new traffic light would do is drastically increase the number of rear end collisions on both roads.
