The timeing needs to be adjusted in all directions for a left turn!

I believe the County operates the traffic signals, and this is the border of Clinton Twp and Fraser, on a County road.
Do these intersections have cameras on them that record the traffic? That would be helpful in identifying why these accidents are occurring.

The cause of the accident at 15 and Garfield yesterday was distracted driving - the guy that caused the accident was looking for a cigarette.
This was not a traffic control problem.

Yep. Always a coverup somewhere! Couldn't just be some guy texting or dropping a cigarette.
I understand these lights take some getting used to - by drivers and the county getting it right.
The county monitors this website, and I'm sure they hear you loud and clear.
My main concern at this intersection is the number of students that are in that area after school.

Thanks for the pictures Dennis. Obviously there is something wrong with the way people are driving through this intersection (whether it is being distracted or not obeying the signal). Until the accidents here stop, there will be no blinking yellow light during busy hours. Late at night is not as much of an issue since light changes quicker (but still not always quick enough with no traffic....).
I think what everyone wants with these new lights is some consistency. Its nice when they change quicker when there is no traffic, but they hold green much too long other times of the day. Then there are some lights (14 Mile Rd at Utica) that change to red much too quick not letting straight through traffic clear!

1)If there's an accident it's a sideswipe, not a T-bone.
2)Lives saved.
3)Energy savings, no electricity
4)Insurance costs go down
5)Improved mileage (no stopping and starting)
6)Reduced dependence on foreign oil
7)Lower gas prices(maybe)
8)Every one works the same way
Just sayin'
