There is obviously a "design" flaw at the intersection of St. Charles and Tamarind (Southern Star). Where I lived in NW Ohio, we of course had many rural roads where intersections only had stop signs. At one particularly dangerous intersection in Ohio, they put blinking red lights around the border of the stop sign. The lights were powered by a small solar panel. There has not been another accident at that intersection since they modified the stop sign. Simple and very inexpensive solution that saved lives.
