If they would shorten the median and folks would go down 97 to get to the Tom thumb I think this would dr crease accidents.

@Michelle

Actually, that portion of HWY 29 is clearly marked 55MPH. It also has warnings North and South bound that there is a reduced speed limit. Shouldn’t be a problem if you’re paying attention to the road like you should already be doing. It is uncontreversial that a light did not cause any of those previous accidents. Don’t be so closed minded.

Still say this is a bad idea. 65 mph speed limit and slap bang in the middle of nowhere a red light.

Anyone else notice you can basically see both lights coming south at night.
Hwy 97 mast arm seems to far into Hwy 29. Bad angle.

Well, now at least the people of Molino will be able to give directions on how to go to most anywhere in the world. Don’t directions usually start with, go to the red light and……………

I travel this intersection at least 4 times a week and I have never seen all these problems that are being talked about. To me it us
not a dangerous intersection and I believe the lights are a waste of money. All that is needed is a little common sense.

Well I travel that intersection twice a day monday thru friday. Im thrilled that they put up a stop light. Its going to make those lefts from 97 onto 29 so much easier. Only time will tell if it cuts down on the accidents, but one can hope.

If people would get off of the phone and drive, these accidents would not be occurring. I’ve lived in the area and traveled to the Tom Thumb since 88 and it’s getting worse because of people and their phones! The light isn’t going to solve anything just watch and see!

Scratching my head here on some of the above comments. :/

The same “reckless drivers” whom many of you are complaining about at this particular intersection, are the same exact drivers who are probably sitting beside you at the next red light intersection once they leave this one. Your not making any sense complaining about this particular light going up, not going to help any.

The way I see it….it’s a start and it will give those “reckless drivers” some rules to abide by giving the rest of us a much better chance to get home safely. A red light is a red light, no matter where it’s at. You are required by law to observe it accordingly or else…..I guess time will tell!
