Letter: Suggestions on signage, lights, CWB and approaches

About: Remembers reluctance to put light at old Walmart

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

I agree something needs to be done about this section and hopefully before someone dies.

It is so odd. that a part of the highway that has always merged together has so many signs stuck in the middle of the highway to get people to twist and turn, where all they had to do was let it merge like before.



It's a real distraction for drivers! I am really surprised someone hasn't run right through the middle of them yet.

On this same topic, when you drive down the bypass, we have so few signs letting us know where the next intersection is until you are already upon it, and what the Hwy number is. Hwy 61 N is at the end of a set of 3 or 4 numbers before it, by the time it takes someone concentrate on what Hwy they are looking for, they have lost concentration on the road itself and what's happening in front of them.

The rumble strips they put in were a very good idea, Although! You can barely feel them at all, and the LED stop light just really gets you talking about the light itself, not the purpose they are trying achieve.

I believe if they would stretch out the info on the Hwy, letting people know what's ahead in time, with regular Hwy signs, and get some lighting at night, plus maybe a much-needed caution light at the intersections, then people would be able to pay more attention to the surroundings around them, other vehicles, and there wouldn't even be a need for the LED lights around the stop signs.
