The Issue

I suffered a car accident at the intersection of Rainwater Rd and Carpenter Rd, a stark testament to the dangers of this area. This location has gained dangerous notoriety among locals; the fear of accidents at this intersection is shared by many who frequently traverse these routes.

This particular intersection isn't only frequented by locals but it's also a commute route for numerous college students who attend ABAC and UGA. These young minds are risking their safety daily on these hazardous roads to reach their educational destinations. 

According to US traffic studies, around 40 percent of all motor vehicle accidents occur at intersections, with the cause most often being attributed to a lack of sufficient traffic control apparatus (source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). As per evidence, placing a traffic light at this high-risk intersection would significantly reduce the risk of accidents.

By signing this petition, you are urging the local transportation authorities to install a traffic light at the intersection of Rainwater Rd and Carpenter Rd. Your support could potentially prevent future accidents and secure safer travel for all who use these roads. Please sign the petition, and let's make our roads safer.
