With a recent accident involving two of my classmates, and others over recent years, I would like to address the Indiana Department of Transportation about constructing a traffic light system at the intersection of Schuman Road and State Route 1, in Saint Leon. This is a problem that needs to be fixed, and many people that commute through that area would agree. This intersection is very dangerous, as it is extremely busy in the mornings and afternoons, with many people using those roads as their commute to school, work, etc. 

The INDOT should not have to wait for a fatality in that intersection to construct a traffic light. With as many accidents that have occurred there, it should be a top priority for INDOT to prevent the injuries and fatalities that are likely to occur here. With constructing a simple traffic light, it will save people money, injuries, and even their lives.
