Navigating the intersection at KY313 and Fort Ave (1882) has become increasingly treacherous. I find myself anxious each time my kids and I drive through it for work and school. There have been instances where I've timed our wait at the intersection – sitting for up to 4 minutes and 35 seconds before it was safe to pull out. The traffic congestion is so severe that drivers frequently run the stop sign in a desperate attempt to cross, leading to near-miss incidents on a regular basis.

Our community is growing rapidly, and with this growth comes increased traffic. Yet, the infrastructure hasn't kept up. The lack of a traffic signal at this busy junction poses a significant safety risk to all drivers. It's not just a matter of inconvenience; it's a pressing safety concern that requires immediate attention.

A solution is straightforward: we need a traffic light installed at this intersection. A traffic light will regulate the flow of cars, reduce congestion, and significantly decrease the number of accidents and near misses. It will ensure that everyone can travel safely and efficiently.

Studies from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that intersections with traffic signals result in significantly fewer accidents compared to those only governed by stop signs. This investment in traffic infrastructure is not only beneficial for the safety of drivers but is also a proactive step towards accommodating the expected increase in traffic as our town grows.

We deserve safe roads for our families, our children, and our community. Installing a traffic light at KY313 and Fort Ave is a vital step towards safeguarding our journey, eliminating the anxiety associated with this intersection, and ensuring we all arrive at our destinations safely.

Sign this petition to urge local authorities to prioritize our safety and expedite the installation of a traffic light at this dangerous crossing. Together, we can make a difference in improving road safety for everyone in our community.
