I had my truck totaled when a student that didn't understand what was going on pulled out in front of me. Only injured my thumb in the steering wheel but could have been very bad if the timing had been .5 second off.91_Aggie said:
Based on the previous dire predictions, does anyone know how many hundreds of commuters have been killed by this thing since it opened?!?!

Yeah, my daughter had a student total her car when he hit her from behind at the intersection of Welsh and 2818 when he didn't understand a right-hand yielded turn lane she was stopped in.CS78 said:I had my truck totaled when a student that didn't understand what was going on pulled out in front of me.

Not sure you can say it's been proven when you have provided no data or link to a source and when it hasn't been fully completed yet.redd38 said:91_Aggie said:

My dire predictions for the intersection were about how inefficiently it moves traffic through, which have prove to be accurate. They definitely could have done better with a more traditional light configuration.
The times I have driven through there everything has flowed very smoothly. Can you elaborate on your assertion, please?redd38 said:91_Aggie said:

It may be safer and better overall, but if you are going west on Hwy 60 half the time you have two stops to get through the intersection rather than none before. I go through there four or five times a week and it's no biggie but is is often slower to get through for those driving west.91_Aggie said:Not sure you can say it's been proven when you have provided no data or link to a source and when it hasn't been fully completed yet.redd38 said:91_Aggie said:

Seems like you think if say it, then you believe it is true.

I think the biggest safety deal is you don't have the left turn across full speed traffic going south on 2818 from a stop to get on the ramp for those persons going north on 2818 who are turning left to go west. Many wrecks occurred there, especially after dark.

I drive it daily. What's the issue?cavscout96 said:

have you driven it? I have; multiple times a week.
