Traffic Light Needed on RT 110 Huntington Station NY at Sprucetree Ln - Best Buy Entrance

Traffic Light Needed on RT 110 Huntington Station NY at Sprucetree Ln - Best Buy Entrance

The Issue

On May 15, 2015 our brother Brett Rainey was killed while riding his motorcycle northbound on Rt 110 in Huntington Station, NY. If there was a traffic light with turning signals and crosswalk at this dangerous intersection his death could have been prevented. There are two obstructed left-hand turns going both north and southbound on Rt 110. Drivers are also making illegal left-hand turns out of the Best Buy/Chase parking lot and also illegally turning left off of Sprucetree Ln going northbound on Rt 110. With a traffic light this safety hazard would be greatly be reduced. Additionally, pedestrians would be able to safely cross the 4 lanes of traffic without making a mad dash risking their lives. In the 2 plus years that we have been fighting to get a traffic light at this intersection there have been several car accidents in that same spot. Is the DOT waiting for ANOTHER death before they do something?! We are asking for the help of our community so that we can assure the safety of our residents and commuters. Please sign our petition! It will go to DOT representatives to hopefully reevaluate this dangerous intersection. We - the signers of this petition - urge the NYS DOT to re-examine this intersection and prevent these dangerous left-hand turns and illegal left-hand turns from happening.
