Oh brother, like the 4-way stop at Sonnys is key to traffic safety in TV. People applaud this as if this presence will make driving safer here. The reality is that these 6 cops, if placed in areas where there really is a danger (like the traffic circles), could be far better utilized than at a place where cars coming from both directions at least slow to a crawl to see if someone is coming from the other direction. I can't imagine that that intersection is a major accident area. Rather than applaud this action, we should ask the police why they aren't targeting real traffic safety areas.
