Two mornings this week while driving from Columbia to Jamestown - into the sun, I encountered the inmates working on both sides of the highway. All I could see in the distance was a small glimmer of the yellow truck light flashing because of the sun.M

I did not see the men until they were beside my vehicle as I passed. I don't think having them out that early is safe. One man was in a grey sweatshirt with the hood up on his head. With the backdrop of the hill on both sides of the road it was very difficult to see him, especially.

Another difficult/dangerous spot is when parents are dropping off their child/children at the daycare below the fairgrounds. You make a left turn off of 55 onto Fairground Street, again driving into the sun, and all of the sudden the car in front of you stops to turn left into the daycare parking lot. --Pam Kermeen
