I cannot count the number of times that I have driven Beulah and Nine mile road without the first difficulty at the intersection. Nothing wrong with the intersection, what is wrong is the lack of attention on the part of some drivers.

Y’all are right…people are dumb and we shouldn’t try to make safety improvements.

It’s hard to believe these expert drivers that comment about how the intersection is not to blame have ever traveled through this unaligned mess of an intersection. If you let drivers turn left without a clear line of sight due to the misalignment combined with grade elevation then the odds are that someone will miscalculate. Put up some left turn signals to take human error out, and align the lanes.

Everyone always complains about road width, lights, sight distance, intersection angle etc etc etc…. The fact is drivers are more more distracted everyday and pay less attention to traffic everyday…. no matter what they do crashes will continue to increase. The drivers with common sense who pay attention are aging out and the new ones coming along are idiots who have zero common sense and can’t put their phones down.

Lane alignment is off from south Beulah Road across the Nine Mile Road going north. HORRIBLE.

Too many road ragers and speeders we need more police presence.

I am a member at ECFR Station 2 in beulah. That intersection is not even a quarter of a mile from the station. There isn’t a problem with the intersection. A variety of a accidents caused in this county are not by the intersection but by how the drivers drive. The state has these certain rules for the roads, but alot of drivers don’t use them wisely. It is highly encouraged to use those rules that you see on the road to be safe. Please drive safely

Another thing that happens with people turning left is they see they have a green light and ignore or don’t realize that they do not have the right of way to oncoming traffic from the opposite direction.
Besides the safety issues, that intersection needs a bunch of help to deal with the North/South traffic on Beulah Rd especially on the Publix side. Beulah Rd needs to be four laned with additional turn lanes on the Publix side and the I-10 interchange with Beulah Rd needs to be build to relieve 9 Mile Rd traffic.
Something also needs to change on Beulah Rd in regard to buses and having it 4 or 5 laned would help a lot with trash day traffic.
What ever we do I hope they under plan any new construction so we can do all this again in 10 years, because that’s our way in Escambia County.
