I am a local resident and parent who experienced a heart-wrenching incident. My children were involved in a car accident at the intersection of US 169 HWY and 191st Street. This accident is not an isolated incident. The frequency of crashes at this intersection is noticeably high, making it a constant nightmare for the local residents who use it daily.

A stoplight or a 4-way stop is vital for this intersection to prevent further traffic-related incidents. It will help manage the traffic flow efficiently and increase safety for motorists and pedestrians alike. According to data from the Federal Highway Administration, where traffic signals were installed, crashes were reduced by up to 50% (Federal Highway Administration, Traffic Safety Facts).

Our fear and risk of accidents must come to an end. The safety of our community and our loved ones is paramount. It's time that we take a stand for ourselves and those who use this intersection frequently.

We urge the local authorities to acknowledge our fears, act swiftly, and install a stoplight or a 4-way stop at the intersection of US 169 HWY and 191st Street. Sign this petition if you believe in a safer community.
