My friend, Donna Bennett, died by a speeding driver while making a left turn alongside her husband. This tragic incident is not isolated; numerous innocent young and old people have lost their lives on this dangerous stretch of road. The lack of adequate safety measures has made U.S. 81/287 a perilous route for drivers and pedestrians alike.

the frequency of collisions on this highway remains unacceptably high. Factors such as speeding, distracted driving, inadequate signage, and insufficient infrastructure exacerbate the risks, leading to tragic consequences. Families are shattered, livelihoods disrupted, and futures irrevocably altered by preventable accidents.

We urgently need major safety reinforcements, such as better lighting, clearer signage, and more effective speed control measures to prevent further loss of life. Please join us in demanding immediate action from local authorities to make U.S. 81/287 safer for everyone.
