    It’s about time! This is a another very scary intersection in that area….now if they can just put a stop light at West Roberts and Pine Forest so that one house will quit getting run into!

    Glad to see this light in place. Now we need one at the other end of Pine Cone and Nine Mile Road. Traffic on Nine mile has picked up so much that traffic really backs up there in the mornings.

    Agree. People are running the light from Pine Cone. How can you miss it ? A small car pulled right out in front of me on Friday. Glad I looked up Pine Cone a few seconds before entering the intersection, or I would have been hit.

    I am all for the red light but people look out! Since the light has not been there before I have seen multiple times that people are running the red light and somebody is going to get T-boned!

    A long time needed light. Only issue I have experienced is when someone traveling North on Hwy297A and wants to turn left onto Pine Cone. Traffic backs up due to no pavement to go around that vehicle.
