The Issue

I have witnessed several accidents at the corner of Patchogue-Holbrook Road and Express Drive South, and just recently, my 16-year-old daughter was involved in a crash there. Thankfully, she survived with only damage to the car, but the incident could have been much worse. If the light had been green at the time, the woman who hit her could have caused a tragic outcome.

This intersection is a major concern for many in our community of Holbrook, NY. Numerous residents have reported near misses and accidents at this spot due to unclear traffic patterns, particularly concerning turning lanes. The lack of appropriate signage at this busy crossing contributes significantly to driver confusion, making it hazardous for all road users.

To address this critical issue, I urge the local traffic authorities to install two turning lane signs at the traffic lights on the corner in question. Clear signage will not only bring order to the intersection but also enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians alike.

Installing these turning lane signs is a straightforward solution. It can be implemented swiftly and will substantially reduce the number of accidents, ultimately protecting our community members and their loved ones. Every family deserves safer roads and peace of mind when traveling through town.

Join us in advocating for these essential changes. Sign this petition and help make our streets safer for everyone in Holbrook. Your support could prevent future accidents and help protect others from experiencing the fear and trauma my family recently faced. Together, let's make a meaningful difference in our community.
