I have lived off Dufort Rd in Sagle, Idaho, for just over a year, and in that time, I have witnessed the incredible danger posed by the intersection at Highway 95 and Dufort Rd. This intersection has seen multiple accidents, some tragically ending in fatalities. Every day, I have to navigate through this intersection, worrying if my car, carrying myself and my three small children, will be the next victim at this fast-paced crossing.

This intersection has not just affected my peace of mind, but it has deeply impacted the safety of our entire community. It has become abundantly clear that action needs to be taken to prevent further tragedies. Installing a street light at this intersection could drastically reduce accidents by regulating traffic flow and ensuring drivers can safely maneuver through the junction.

Statistics from the Federal Highway Administration have shown that proper traffic management through signals can reduce accidents by as much as 30% in busy intersections. This is not just important for those of us who live nearby but also for anyone traveling through this busy artery of our town.

We cannot wait for another life to be lost to make this change. Our children, families, and visitors deserve to travel safely without the constant fear of another accident. A street light will provide the necessary control over this chaotic intersection, offering protection and peace once installed.

Join me in urging the local authorities and Idaho Transportation Department to install a street light at Highway 95 and Dufort Rd. It's time to prioritize the safety of our community and its future. Please sign this petition to make our voices heard and push for this crucial safety improvement.
