This area seems to have a lot of accidents. Time for SMCSO and MSP to take action to make the roads safe. Maybe they should put more Deputy’s and Troupers in the area or use technology to get the job done.
How can smcso and MSP make the road safe. Ppl need to stop being impatient and have road rage and they need to pay attention and stay off the phone
I can only state the facts
During morning and evening rush hours traffic is extremely heavy on Rt 5
It’s difficult to make a right turn the traffic stream is so tight
So imagine what it’s like to make left without aid of a traffic signal
Speculation, someone was trying to make a turn and misjudged the traffic
At the point of that accident you have multiple lanes in both directions
Some times it’s easier to ‘go right, to go left’. Go right, then turn into L-Town…and come out on Fenwick (by Ryken)
An alternative would also be to go out the Hollywood Rd entrance/ exit…even if it takes an extra minute. Traffic is lighter and slower.
