I think it's time for the " Prepare to stop " warning flashing lights to be installed on this road. About 6 years ago a young lady was killed by a semi that couldn't stop in time for a red light.

Delcie Lee Brandt of Albert Lea was extricated from a black Volkswagen Beetle and transported by ambulance to Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea.
Hospital spokeswoman Jennifer Levisen said Brandt was treated and released to another hospital.
A St. Marys Hospital spokeswoman said Brandt was listed in serious condition Wednesday morning.
Albert Lea Police Lt. J.D. Carlson said Brandt was conscious when emergency personnel arrived at the scene; however, she reportedly suffered from a head injury.

According to police, the semi, driven by Gary Leroy Sordahl, 42, was traveling southbound on Minnesota Highway 13 just before 1:30 p.m. when it collided with the Volkswagen. It is unclear which direction the Volkswagen was traveling.
The semi driver pulled off to the side of U.S. Highway 69 near the United Methodist Church after the crash and could be seen talking to an officer as emergency responders treated Brandt.
A report later in the day stated Sordahl was not feeling well.

Well you know the local government hero's must have more important issues to deal with than unsafe traffic lights.
At least judging by how many of them there are--and how long they have been that way.

As a truckdriver, prepare to stop lights are a wonderful thing.

I dont' get it. It couldn't possibly be a more visable intersection.
Maybe they should put in rumble strips to alert inattentive drivers?

What bothers people more... the fact others disagree w/them, or that the others just might be right after all?
If you're being stupid, acting stupid, or just plain stupid, I will not hesitate to let u know!

Always been an accident prone intersection for as long as I can remember.
Do you think the fact that you can avoid the stoplights altogether might have something to do with it?
