Every day.... every single day, I have a choice. I can go through this dangerous intersection, or I can add 25 minutes to my 8 minute commute to work to drive in the opposite direction just to remain safe. You can't turn left safely because of traffic flow; you cannot turn right safely because you can't see around the vehicles blocking who are trying to turn left. It's a lose/lose situation. Please give us something...anything that might make this a safer place to drive.
Renee supported: Install Temporary Red Light at Dangerous IntersectionI'm not in Blairsville every day, but I have used this intersection before when I went there. It is a very scary place to try to get out. The traffic is just too heavy and the traffic needs to be directed, such as with the proposed temporary light. One of my coworkers and her children werwere just in an accident there. This is a time sensitive issue--please act before somebody else gets seriously injured, or killed!
Tiffany supported: Install Temporary Red Light at Dangerous IntersectionI have lived off of Gibbs Road since 2019. Sadly, there have been chronic accidents of extreme nature at the intersection. It is difficult to see the on coming traffic from all directions despite how long one waits before proceeding. Rather than lose life and vehicles, it appears reasonable to install a light. I had the privilege of speaking with a Blairsville police officer who indicated that this intersection has more reoccurring accidents than other intersections in this city. This officer indicated it was similar to the Shoe Factory road light that was recently installed!
Cindi supported: Install Temporary Red Light at Dangerous IntersectionOn May 13th 2011,my oldest son Walter Edward Perkins Jr., was killed in a fatal car crash on C.R.42,4 adults, my son, his girlfriend (mother of his children),another male and female, and my 14 month old granddaughter, and an unborn baby, my son, his girlfriend and her unborn baby died that night. Thank God my granddaughter and the others lived, alot of things played a factor that horrible night, the road conditions on the curve at cr 42 and fullerville Road have alway's been dangerous. When I first moved to Lake County from South Florida in 2001 a very good friend had told me about all the crosses that were already up and down County Road 42 how many more people have to lose loved ones before somebody does something this is ridiculous.
Susan supported: Implement Safety Measures to Reduce Road Accidents on Our RoadwaysThere has been way too many accidents on this road and no one seems to care. My sister was hit and killed on this road. Something needs to be done!
Megan supported: Implement Safety Measures to Reduce Road Accidents on Our RoadwaysI have family that live on these roads and I myself drive down 42 to my workplace I recently almost got hit head on by another vehicle trying to pass. These roads need to be safer enough is enough!
delia supported: Implement Safety Measures to Reduce Road Accidents on Our RoadwaysOur son lives off this road in Paisley. I pray every day that he makes it home safe. Even if someone is not being reckless, this road could use substantial improvement, just due to the increased traffic flow and the blind and sharp curves. There is a reason why sections of the road have nicknames like "dead man's curve."
Jacqueline supported: Implement Safety Measures to Reduce Road Accidents on Our RoadwaysI am required to drive down 42 for work, and I worry every single day that I will be involved in an accident. I wish I could feel safer on this road.
Alicia supported: Implement Safety Measures to Reduce Road Accidents on Our RoadwaysIt is sad to think the people of the rural Lake county areas are pushed to the side as if we don’t matter. We pay taxes and it’s even more tragic to have so many lives lost due to the lack of action from previous cries being ignored. So now we as a community are screaming from the roof tops for action. We won’t stop until something is done to prevent more loss of life. We are tired of burying our family, friends, and neighbors. Thank you to all speaking out!
Mary supported: Implement Safety Measures to Reduce Road Accidents on Our RoadwaysI have been driving State Road 44 since the 80s and I can tell you my route back and forth to work in DeLand for over 20 I have seen more than 100 accidents half of them fatalities specifically the intersection at 44A and 4:37 in front of the new Dollar General that is death waiting to happen I see it every morning no flashing light no caution light and there needs to be more officers and troopers on the road to see what's going on passing and non-passing Lanes the trash trucks deliver every Wednesday morning backing up traffic that causes problems the list goes on and on something has to be done, also around the Pine Lakes area there have been so many accidents I can't even list them all maybe putting in a caution light stop sticks something needs to be done with the growing area around Eustis Mount Dora and the Sorrento area these are back roads that were used to and with more traffic these out of Staters are not familiar with our back roads so please help us do whatever we can to protect ourselves and our children from these deadly roads thank you
