public service post: death-dealing intersection near Tampa
43 serious injury accidents (and rising) at this Florida intersection:
Location: Palmetto, Florida (near Tampa). State routes 41 and 301 combine for a left turn; 200yards west of the Walmart on 301, just beyond the overpass. A similar intersection in Michigan has had ZERO injury accidents in the last ten years! (even though it has twice the traffic flow than the Florida one) Location: Grand Rapids, Mi; intersection of S.E. 28th street and M-37. Why the difference? The left-turn signal at the Grand Rapids location is COMPLETE. It has an adequate duration green light, an adequate duration yellow light (to allow the last car to complete the turn) and a RED light (or blinking red light during low traffic hours) The Palmetto, Florida left-turn signal is INCOMPLETE. There is no red light after the yellow! When the yellow light goes off- a GREEN light appears! A red light should always appear after a yellow light! This is not the case in Florida! One need only stand on the sidewalk near this intersection for a half hour and witness the near collisions,especially in the late evening! BE CAREFUL! The people responsible for installing and maintaining this incomplete, injury and death-dealing signal in Florida a Ken Bass (FDOT) ph (863) 519-2495 (Bartow, Fl) My suggestion: Call him and: Politely YELL BLOODY MURDER! ALSO EMAIL DOT: fdot.pio@ dot.state.fl.us and Cindy Clemmons: |
