Ya again, regardless of who is right or wrong the situation is unsafe. Writing derogatory condescending posts is not going to make the intersection any safer. Hopefully the light is changed before someone is killed. If someone's child is involved in a fatality your disposition surely would not be shared.

The Town Supervisor has just been added as a watcher for Milton. They should be receiving emails about all the reports and comments after this one. Let's hope that there's something that can be done about this intersection.

There's plenty of room to put a round-a-bout in this intersection. Let's eliminate traffic lights, which would save energy, and keep traffic moving.

Amen Rick!

OMG please! Don't do a round about. People get so dumb & confused around those things. Some stop forever when they don't need to and others don't yield when they should. All I see is rage around those things. Just one persons opinion.

The intersection is not big enough to support around about with truck traffic it would only congested and make it more unsafe than it is now

While a roundabout may be confusing to a person who isn't used to them, study after study show they're inherently safer than traditional 4 way intersections. Some benefits include lower speeds, one way travel, nobody trying to "beat the light," reduction in delays, improved traffic flow, less expensive to maintain.

This all results in:
A 37 percent reduction in overall collisions
A 75 percent reduction in injury collisions
A 90 percent reduction in fatality collisions
A 40 percent reduction in pedestrian collisions

I've been hit once (fortunately I was able to jump and get out of most of the way) and have had a few too many near misses as I cross the street with my dogs (in the crosswalk on the red light). Folks are trying to make a right on red from Geyser to Rowland on the corner by the clock. They stop, then look at the light, and I step into the sidewalk and then they drive right into me because they are looking down Rowland the opposite way. We should have crosswalks at the intersection.

I also find myself sitting at a red light on Rowland when there is no oncoming traffic on Geyser.
