Tracfic accidents at Powell Rd and Rt. 44
I'm with GE. (Will miracles never cease?) Red arrows are not the automatic solution to every intersection where some individuals make bad choices.
You significantly reduce intersection capacity and often make left turners wait unreasonable amounts of time when there is no oncoming traffic. There are other, better ways to deal with the situation. But make no mistake...none of them are perfect. They all depend upon good, attentive driving. |

I must agree with you, despite the fact that GE and PB are often correct. Both BV and Morse require red arrows after green arrows on 466A, and other locations. (And I'll buy my own lobster thanks). The vast majority of people will stop on a red arrow. If they work in Las Vegas they will work anywhere. (LV has a much higher proportion of impaired drivers than TV.) |

You're right, Cathy

An average of less than one accident a month. Is this really the most pressing traffic problem in this area?

Given the severity of the accidents, I would have to rate it highly. Certainly higher than the DOT need for another rotary. |

I had suggested before that the LEFT turn lanes for 466 and 466a be moved to the LEFT, take out some or all of the flowers, and put the left turn lane where it should be. Take a look at he NEW left turn lane on 441 to 466a, it is a full lane width to the left, there is a cross hatched lane to the right. Great visibility.
I think moving the left turn lanes is the ultimate and correct solution. While I agree that RED arrows will help, they will not help the person that entered the intersection, before these changed to red. I am not sure if this solution can be applied at the intersections on 44. Since these are COUNTY roads (maybe state??), I am guessing that FDOT will need to get involved, but if enough people complain, maybe something will be done. Please do not shoot the messenger, this is just MHO. |
