Default Traffic accidents at Powell Rd and Rt. 44
There was an article,this morning, in The Villages newspaper, The Daily Sun, about all the vehicle crashes at the intersection of Powell Road and Route 44 in the last two years, with 3 fatalities. Looking at the diagram that was shown in the paper, at least 15 of the 20 crashes could have been prevented with a relatively inexpensive, simple fix.

Left turn arrows, but RED left turn arrows when there is oncoming traffic. Also, "NO RIGHT TURN ON RED" signs on Powell Rd and Signature Dr.

Any other suggestions that might keep these accidents to a minimum?
