Traffic Signals

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Traffic Signals are a HOT topic.  I can’t tell you how many times a day I hear, “when are they going to put a traffic signal at so-and-so intersection?”

It’s understandable.  I drive through many intersections that could use a signal.  I guess we just all have to be patient.  The county does these “intersection studies” and if the result doesn’t warrant a signal…. we have to wait until the next study is done… or more development goes up in the area.

 Many times people get upset about “drivers running the four way stop.”  Which yes, is wrong.  But I think we have to remember… it’s not the stop signs that aren’t working… it the driver behind the wheel not following the rules of the road. 

The best bet is to leave extra time.  I know, when I am rushed, I find myself a more careless driver.  I think the roads would be safer, if we weren’t all in a such a hurry! :)
