Lynn, I have to agree with you. Crabtree Church Road , and 97 intersection is too close to the 97 -29 intersection. this will create a traffic jam for people trying to get on and off Crabtree Church Road. I can’t wait to see how many drivers cut through the parking lot to beat the light, hopefully no one will get run over.

One more solution for this intersection would be to require tom thumb to close of their access onto 29. There are always careless drivers and inexperienced drivers that don’t care or understand how dangerous that front entrance is. For the impatient please relax and slow down.

Last weekend at that intersection, one of the poles going across Hwy 29 with the attached light, was shaking like crazy. None of the other light pole arms were shaking. I hope they get that fixed. Certainly wouldn’t want an accident to happen because a light falls down.

just now thinking of this???? what about 112 where truckers take that road to skip weigh in??? investment in these country roads needs to step it up, people fly cut off to atmore and many more , even i could have pulled over at least 5 dui drivers in last week, swerving and flying. .. how about new dollar general at neal road many wrecks to come…what we dont have the funds smh!!!! 29 is bad off all cops are near grocery advantage move down a little from burger king to there, people are nutts….. they all know where to slow down. .. switch it up escambia. .. i think u guys do a great job but as u get on them spots where cops are never at, they abuse it!! be safe everyone. kids are out of school so most of us have them in the car!!! please simmer down!!! these cops have other things to do than babysit drivers!!!!

@ Lynn…you can be assured the same people who run red lights, stop signs, and throw garbage out their car window will block an intersection as opposed to state law.

Mark it down… this red light is not a fix the car crash problem at this intersection. First off, it is poorly designed and needs to be corrected into a 90 degree crossing. The new traffic signal however, may have the opposite desired affect and will actually increase crashes here. Stay tuned and watch because just today as I traveled south on 29, I observed yet another near miss as someone turned left from north 29 and drove straight across into the Tom Thumb. This is supposed to be one of the issues that to be corrected by this traffic signal upgrade for the Atmore cut off. Good luck and drive safe.

I hope there’s a turn light, otherwise people will still be cutting across traffic while trying to get to the Tom Thumb.

Now, a traffic incident with no witnesses, or, anyone wanting to be bothered with talking to investigators…”.everybody” has a green light.

Are they going to change the speed limit through there???

Crabtree Church Rd. still needs to be addressed! Cars turning left on Crabtree will get backed up onto 29 due to cars coming from Atmore. I think I’ll avoid it for awhile and see how it pans out!
