Really?
Folks just need to slow down. There’s a great, long line of sight to see what is coming but you have to look and be patient. No stop light needed.

I would not mind if they extended the tiny southbound of 196 merge lane to a proper length. The one down the road at the nearly defunct business park is about the right length.

REGARDING:
“There’s nothing you or anyone else can do to change how someone drives besides spreading awareness,”

Actually, there is.
Pay for MANY more law enforcers and vigorously enforce traffic laws against violators.
As it is some don’t notice they are doing anything unsafe because all those around them seem to be doing it.

Few want to push all THAT hard, though.

NOW INSTALLED at this intersection are all manner of caution lights, the raised ribs that cars tires will alert the driver, PLUS, there are very bright street lights at night on BOTH sides of Hwy 29. What more can the state do, except install a full traffic light to make people find something else to gripe about. Let’s face it folks, if all these things laws can’t MAKE people look both ways, laws sure can’t fix inattention, and it is a proven fact that they sure can’t fix stupid.

@pat. There’s nothing you or anyone else can do to change how someone drives besides spreading awareness, however a light being on this road would provide more caution about the upcoming intersection. obviously rumble strips, a warning sign about the stop sign ahead, and a stop sign aren’t enough.

I’ll bet every one of you nay sayin to a traffic light there speeds up and down 29 like you could give a hoot. Just wait my friends, when it a loved one of yours that buys it there you’ll change your tune. And yes, I agree, you can’t fix stupid and there is a large percentage of stupid out there just caring about themselves and getting there as fast as they can. A light would help. You guys doing 85 would have to stop, or you’re still in the ‘stupid’ bunch!

@Bill L

You must of been distracted while typing. All you have to do is pay attention to where your fingers are hitting, its not that hard. Perhaps if you stop looking at your cell phone while typing it would be safer….. LOL
