I Can’t believe almost EVERYDAY there is a car accident on my way to work. On Sunrise Hwy, Anywhere between Nicholes Rd & Sunrise to the Oakdale merge. Today I had the honor of seeing two accidents on the way to work and an additional one on the way home. Again, this is almost everyday. Sad when your 9 miles from work and it takes 45 minutes to get there.

Yes, I’m sure too much texting going on.
OK, Rant over, Be safe!!

I know the new temporary lane shifts at the Oakdale merge are causing some of them. I’ve seen 2 alone there myself.

You have to think about what is more important. Paying attention and avoiding accidents or texting omg and lol many many times and posting pictures of the traffic or your morning breakfast that you got from starbucks or mickey d's.

True! However it’s not illegal to shave and eat my Cheerios at the same time.

I don't think they even put noticeable lines down at that shift.

I agree. And for someone who never drives that road it’s a accident waiting to happen.

At least once per week in that particular area.

At night the lighting isn't that good either. If I remember right, it's by the beginning of the Connetqout River State Park, so there is also the element of entering a dark forest.

Aaaaand another one this morning.

Heading east as we come up on the lane shift I look ahead a few cars to a 5th wheel tractor and trailer. Sure enough as the lanes shift the truck does not forcing a Jeep into the orange barrels on the left hand side. The truck kept going but the Jeep pulled over to inspect damages.

This really needs addressed ASAP before someone get seriously hurt or killed.

About 3-4 months ago there was a 4-5 car accident in the same area. All because this huge turtle was in the road.
