I see. It didn't come across to me that you were in favor of her staying out of the intersection so I was confused about why you mentioned it. I see now that you actually mentioned you understood sometimes when people didn't go.

I don't understand why people don't use common sense when rushing to get into an intersection on a super busy thoroughfare. That is so dangerous!

Agreed!

The intersection of Lead Mine and Glenwood (near Crabtree) was changed a few years ago. I've seen 2 accidents where people rushed through the intersection as soon as the light changed and there were others running the right light to get through the intersection.

Similar accidents happen at the intersection of Creedmoor Road and Lead Mine).

People seem to be more rushed and don't stop to think about the "what if's". And that is why they are called accidents!

Be careful, everyone!
