Change Red Left Turn Light to Blinking Yellow on Dream Street


Change Red Left Turn Light to Blinking Yellow on Dream Street
The Issue
Every time we approach the intersection of Dream Street and Highway 42 in Florence, KY, we feel unsafe. On multiple occasions, several drivers have narrowly avoided being rear-ended. The current solid red left turn light is contributing to a dangerous build-up of traffic extending onto the exit ramp, posing a threat to drivers and their families.
The intersection in question is a daily hazard for the community. The red light should be changed to a blinking yellow caution light. This would allow drivers to turn left when it is safe, reducing traffic congestion and minimizing the risk of accidents. This simple change has the potential to enhance the safety and efficiency of traffic in the area.
Consider the statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which states that reducing congestion leads to a noticeable decrease in collision incidents. By converting the solid red left-turn light to a blinking yellow, we could significantly enhance safety at this critical intersection.
We are urging local authorities, specifically the city planners and traffic engineers, to take immediate action to implement this change. The safety of our community should be a priority. It's time we ensure that our streets are as safe as possible for everyone.
Sign this petition to support a safer and more efficient road for the residents and visitors of Florence, KY. Together, we can push for a change that will protect our loved ones and improve our daily commutes. Let's make Florence a safer place to drive.
