I was the driver of the black pickup,I was headed towards Cantonment when the other car didn’t tell turning left off 29 onto 97 never even looked for us
My 2 cents on the matter. I think when heading north bound on Hwy 29 and the light turns green to make left onto Hwy 97. There is no sign that said NO U Turns. Drivers coming from 97 at the light and are looking to see traffic on Hwy 29. I have seen many times at this light wrecks that almost happened due to someone making a U Turn from Hwy 29 to go to the Tom Thumb and the driver coming from Hwy 97 was not watching the other vechicle. And
WHAAM!
Why would you stop regardless of light color? Great way to get smacked in the back by someone doing 65 mph
If I could video record that traffic intersection I would make a lot of money.
Meant to say 97 in my previous comment.
I’ve passed thru that intersection often. After they installed those lights, I knew there was going to be a problem. Coming from Atmore at night, if you are unfamiliar with the intersection, the southbound green light for 29 can appear to be a green light for 95. It is a poorly designed traffic control point that no one wants to admit.
The left turn onto 97 needs to be green arrow or red arrows only. Get rid of the whole ‘yield on green’ thing, because obviously people aren’t yielding.
Before the light wrecks were a daily thing.
My grandaughter was taking her drivers test and the instructor took off poinrs because she has been taught to always stop and look at that intersection before proceeding no matter the color of the light. I was proud of her and told the instructor it may save her life in Molino. She did pass the test overall with flying colors. Please stop and look good at the light at the tom thumb in Molino. Weekly wrecks out here.
Don’t know how Auto insurance agents get any sleep ! Just yesterday I approached a major intersection. A round red light was on and a green arrow to the right of the Red light was on …which one. You gonna trust ?
OMG….LETS PUT A LIGHT THERE THEY SAID TO CUT DOWN ON ACCIDENTS WELL GUESS WHAT…..ITS NOT WORKING IT SEEMS WORSE….PEOPLE NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION WHEN DRIVING…..I sure do especially when my husband is driving ask him lol
Left turn arrows at that intersection and a tutorial for Alabama drivers would help.
All the accidents at that light are because people traveling hwy 97 assume they can turn left on green, when there is no arrow on those lights, just on hwy 29. Folks from both sides of the light on 97 ALWAYS turn left on green ahead of the people going straight every time I am at that intersection. People simply have no idea how to drive anymore.
Anyone ever heard of “Red Light Cameras” ? Not to mention increased revenue for Escambia county and possibly a reduction in accidents, injuries, and deaths.
Thank goodness the injuries are non life threatening. They should put a red light there to stop all of these traffic accidents. Oh, wait.
I’ve watched cars going thru the red light too many times there. If your light turns green while approaching,YOU BETTER STOP AND LOOK BOTH WAYS.
I moved to Molino back in November and I live a couple miles from that intersection, which I travel through a few times a day, every day of the week. I can’t understand how there are that many accidents at that intersection. Do people just try to fly through it without stopping? Are they incapable of determining which traffic light corresponds to their lane? I’m not trying to be mean, I just don’t understand what is going on here.
Speed,cell phone,increasing traffic, don’t mix, this intersections needs a complete rebuild with over pass and merge lanes onto 29
One more time = NO RIGHT ON RED!!! it does nothing but make sense
Don’t say it
