The intersection of Highway 356N and Emerald Bay, near the entrance to the Lagoon RV Park, has become a dangerous hotspot for accidents and near-misses. With the increasing number of RVs and pull campers navigating this blind entrance, it's only a matter of time before a tragic accident occurs. As residents and concerned citizens, we urge the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to take immediate action for the safety of all motorists.

Currently, drivers are faced with either risking a blind turn or trying to merge into traffic that often approaches at high speeds. This situation not only puts RV drivers at risk but also affects all motorists traveling in the area. Every day, there are numerous near misses due to the lack of proper signage and the absence of dedicated turning lanes.

We propose two potential solutions to alleviate this dangerous situation: the installation of a protected turning lane at the intersection, or the placement of a cautionary flashing signal light within 1000 feet of the highway access point to alert drivers to the hidden entrance. These measures would significantly reduce the risk of tragic accidents and enhance the overall safety for everyone using the road.

Statistics show that improving road infrastructure and adding cautionary signals at potentially hazardous intersections can reduce accidents by up to 30%. Implementing either of these solutions would not only protect the lives of RV and camper drivers but also safeguard families and solo drivers who frequent this route.

We cannot afford to remain passive and hope the situation improves on its own. Action is required—action that will ensure we don't face needless loss. We ask TxDOT to prioritize this issue and implement a solution that will prevent future accidents at this intersection.
