The "flashing prepare to stop" light is a great idea! I had contacted my City Council representative a couple of years ago, thinking a left turn arrow would be a big help in preventing accidents. The left turn lane is already there, all it would take is the left turn arrow light. I was told that it is not a City issue, it is a County road, and she would pass the suggestion along to the County.
That probably would not have helped Delcie, but there are too many accidents at that intersection to keep ignoring the issue, no matter whose responsibility it is.

If not a warning light, just a reduction of speed through there would probably help. I don't know what it is now but if the speed were reduced to say 30mph it would most likely reduce accidents. A sign is probably cheap compared to a light.

Texting, talking on the phone, dialing the radio, smoking drinking pop, or coffee, even reading a book, which I saw recently on 35W in twin cities traffic! Good grief for poor drivers and we think we need less police? I just hate to drive in traffic because of all these nuts out there, legally driving?..... ....ned
