if you have to turn left in the morning at the intersection of Barron and Alexandria, sometimes you could wait up to 7 minutes... which politician do i need to politely but firmly email to get a light installed

Thats like saying "what do you need an automatic garage door opener for? just get out of your car, open it get
back in your car, drive in and close it again, it only takes a few extra
minutes... quit being lazy"
Sure that solution works, but why???
quote:My original post was also deleted.
I offer up perfectly acceptable solution for the OP and staff deletes it. Apparently staff wants a stop light there.
quote:disagree, not sure how familiar with the area but theres usually always at least 5 cars on the north side of barron on alexandria waiting to turn left or to go straight
And I will say that that is a strawman that has no bearing for real life.
What you are saying is:
"I want a stop light for the the people that have to cross Barron from one residential to another residential area because between the hours of 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm it can take 7 minutes to cross that road."
How many people are really driving between those two suburbs?
"Well, it could happen, therefore we need to make sure those 1 or 2 people can do it in a timely manner when traffic is at its busiest"
That's the argument you are presenting.

and if people are worried about non peak hours can they just change it to the flashing yellow yield when not at peak hours

Its been years since I have seen regular red lights turn to flashing at night. They don't seem to do it anymore around here - at least not that I have seen lately.

Flashing lights are very bright at night for the people that live on those 4 corners.
