T. Neal: Fixing the Intersection A plain and simple 4-way stop is his solution, though he admits that the underlying problem, human error, will persist and cannot, he says, be fixed By T. Neal Personal commentary There is no way to make this spot one hundred percent safe. There is an underlying factor that will persist that cannot be fixed, that is the human error factor. A fancy circle in the middle might slow and help, but a plain and simple 4 way stop will do just as much good at that location. That will make the chances of such events less likely. Because that means two different people will have to make the same exact mistake at the same exact time. Since I learned how to drive In a major city the very first rule that I was taught is that you cannot take for-granted that everyone is paying attention. The second was that you never trust a green light. It is terrible that so many have been hurt there. Rumble strips and either a yellow caution or flashing red is the most economical and safest result. Thanks - T. Neal This story was posted on 2015-04-02 04:07:08
