Install traffic lights at route 365 and Blackmans Corners Road
The Issue
I lost a dear friend, a classmate, in a tragic motorcycle accident at the intersection of Route 365 and Blackmans Corners Road. This location has been notorious for accidents for many years, causing distress and concern for residents and travelers alike. Despite numerous calls for enhanced traffic control, the state's current solution, a cross-traffic warning system, has been insufficient in preserving lives—evidenced all too painfully by the recent tragedy involving my friend.
This intersection is a dangerous hotspot that demands immediate action. The warning system, though well-intended, has repeatedly failed to ensure the safety of numerous individuals who pass through this intersection daily. Historically, traffic signals have shown a significant decrease in the number of accidents and fatalities at problematic junctions. According to the Federal Highway Administration, intersections equipped with traffic lights can reduce accident rates by up to 30%. Therefore, a true three-light traffic control device is not only necessary but a proven measure to save lives.
The plea to install a full traffic light system at this dangerous crossroads is backed by the community's overwhelming demand. Local residents have expressed thoughtful concerns, highlighting near-miss incidents and unaddressed risks. Travelers frequently navigating this route suffer from the same fears and frustrations, illustrating a widespread and urgent need for change.
In light of this persisting danger and the personal pain of losing a friend, I urge state and local officials to prioritize public safety. Installing a fully operational three-light traffic control device at this intersection is not just an option; it's an imperative to safeguard lives. Every day without action exposes more individuals to potential harm and loss.
Join me in this pursuit by signing this petition. Let's hold our officials accountable to address this critical safety issue and ensure that no more lives are endangered at Route 365 and Blackmans Corners Road. Your signature is a step towards change, contributing to a safer future for our community.
