Ralph Waggener: A little common sense, not money, needed on the bypass By Ralph Roy Waggener Personal commentary by the publisher of It's Just for a Smile News On the Bypass problems, if I'm reading right most of the wrecks have been caused by drivers not familiar with the Bypass. Make money making fines to stop this problem has a bad smell to it. Increase the markings that a stop light is ahead. Use Flashing amber light or 2 light alternately flashing. Add a second pair of lights at a second distance and rumble strips if necessary. You can't legislate that drivers to be aware of what they are doing. You can educate to some degree. Cell phones are a big part of the problem, but back in the 50's when I delivered the Courier-Journal there were no cell phones and not many gadgets, but still cars would come within inches of me and you could tell their minds where somewhere else and not on the road. Most drivers watch the road but there will always be the few that don't. Flashing lights and more than one set on each approach will be a big help. The pencil is not the blame. It's people not accustomed to this road and cell phones who are the biggest culprits! The state will more than likely spend money for a study on this and more than likely spend 5 times the money it will cost to help stop these terrible accidents. A little common sense can fix this problem. This story was posted on 2015-04-01 10:09:58
