Bad intersection can be made much safer

Since I can remember, Dundee and St. Armand Drive has been a dangerous intersection. Not only do people turning eastbound and westbound on Dundee Road conveniently forget to put their cellphones down and use their turn signals, people also pass turning cars on the right of them to head straight through the intersection, so people think they are clear to turn, causing accidents.

And sometimes a school bus has to take evasive action to avoid a collision, and crashing into people who don’t turn right on red correctly. What is my thought?

Ÿ Change the light sequences to those used at Route 83 and Palatine Road, where one direction takes turns to head through the intersection.

Ÿ Make it a “No turn on red” intersection.

Since most everyone thinks it is their God-given right to drive, rather than a privilege, something has to be done!
