    I frequently pass here ,all I can say is I see more roll through the red lights than I see actually stop at the light. I travel down 29 and I always slow down just in case .i have had more people pull out in front of me since the light went up than I ever did before. It is not the intersection it’s the stupid drivers

    Sam, the light has little to do with the accidents.
    As was the case before, most are caused by someone driving poorly.

    >>Has that traffic light helped or added to the accidents at that intersection?

    Can’t speak to the fender benders, but the light has been active for a year and there have been only two minor injury accidents.

    Before the light, there were frequently injury accidents, often major injury accidents, at the intersection. Sometimes more than one per week.
