This intersection has an additional 'feature', it has a significant hump, not sure if this has contributed to any of the accidents, as you may need to slow down going through it. I did see a very close call at this intersection, when apparently I was taking too long to make a SAFE left turn on to Powell. The car behind me came thru with me and the on coming (East bound) vehicle had to hit their brakes hard to avoid hitting the car behind me.
