That is such a bad intersection, I’m surprised that there aren’t more accidents there.
Hopefully everyone is ok and no serious injuries!
The intersection is just fine. The drivers on the other hand….
Dragonmaster is right. It is a very simple intersection. Some people are just too impatient to wait for a safe chance to enter the highway, or don’t consider the speed of those on the highway.
And 28.8% don’t want to see an increase in stiffer penalties for distracted driving.
Must be 28.8% that are distracted drivers.
Good point, there is no bad intersection only bad/impatient drivers.
….drivers cause accidents…not road conditions or weather!
Accident is such a poor word to use.
