How many have to die on 235 before the road is repaired and either a blinking light or traffic light is installed? People drive WAY too fast on 235, given the road conditions. Pot holes are enormous!!! There must have been 15 cop cars yesterday at that intersection when I finally got through. WHY??????
You are so right! Is anyone at the county keeping track of the accidents and deaths that occur at that intersection? Apparently not, probably cost too much to fix. Speeding, commercial trucks, and third world country pot holes equals bad things happening on our roads.
