Alright, thanks
I got through the internsection more than 10 times a day, so I've sat in it each times, eventually people will start to just go through the red light, treating it as a flashing red light, stop and then proceed with caution, or turning towards the shell station and making a U-Turn.
The light is not supposed to be convenient for those going North & South. It was never intended to be a through street light. It was installed to keep the school children safe and allow parents to safely transport children to schools and Southern Community Center. The light was designed to give safer east west passage and discourage North South travel [keeping our children safer].
The state wanted to put a million dollar circle there. We nixed that idea because it would take away from what little parking Appeal Elementary has.
When they finish the new road, that will be a much faster way to get anywhere....
The shopping was put in there because the county paid for the light and the road from Truman to Gunsmoke.... [They also planned to jam Lusby Parkway into CRE on Gunsmoke]
Anyway... the light is supposed to be 90seconds in rotation time for the intersection... People coming down from the North should come in off of Rt 4 at Rousby Hall, it's quicker....
