@concerned. If a traffic light at 196&29 saves just one life then your inconvenience doesnt matter now does it?

No light for 196 & 29… People need to just stay off the phones and DRIVE. you want a light,go to Molino Road and 29. Did a light at 29 & 97 stop the wrecks,”H” NO

I agree that all this needs to happen. However, other road projects need to be completed before we start tearing up more roads. Especially if the companies that will be bidding on this contract already are working on Hwy 29 or 9 mile road projects. If you can bid and start on this project, you obviously have enough crews to assist the other projects first. Finish the mess we already have first please.

There is not enough traffic at Molino Rd and Hwy 29 to justify a traffic light. What a waste of taxpayer dollars. And by closing the crossover at Dollar General is another big mistake, that is the most used crossover in Molino. Do another traffic study cause this one stinks!

I see this as a start to a great plan for the north end of Escambia County..

BUT I am really not sure why a new traffic light is not going in @ Hwy 29 & 196 (Barrineau Park Road) ….this is an extremely dangerous intersection….with many accidents there through the years.

Drivers including Class 8 trucks exceed speed limit to 70-75 MPH

IF NOTHING else a flashing warning light should be installed at this intersection
I have lived in Molino 25 years

I have been almost run over several times…pulling out of my driveway….after giving on coming traffic almost a 1/2 mile advance warning….drivers not paying attention..

The only thing that will slow them down and break this excessive SPEED is a traffic light at Hwy 29 @ 196….

I am ecstatic to hear about the turn lanes at Quintette, and can assure you many others will be as well!

This will be fantastic . . . . there are dozens of accidents here every year and they aren’t caused by simple carelessness, there is a fundamental misunderstanding about the rules of the road and much of that comes from those driving from other states (Alabama).

I don’t know how many times i’ve seen cars coming up and down Hwy 29 on the wrong side of the road, not to mention what happens at the Tom Thumb intersection where cars turning right don’t give the right of way to people turning left . . . . I wish there was a left turn signal there as well.

@429SCJ

If you were talking about somewhere like Pace with a high growth rate and subdivisions everywhere I could understand, but honestly I just don’t see much growth happening in Molino.
