I have a "T" intersection near my house.
The "cross" of the "T" has right-of-way with a speed limit of 55, but
usual speeds are 70:
E<--------------->W (Pecos Road)
|<>-(stop sign)
|
| (Desert Foothills)
View to the west is blind due to a slightly rising hill.
Traffic density on Pecos has recently increased dramatically due to a
new freeway section opening several miles to the east.
I have been harping at the city to do something about this unsafe
intersection but was told basically "tough, you're not getting a
traffic light anytime soon and they don't put stop signs on feeders",
but he'd grace my complaint by repainting the white front-edge stripe
(done last Tuesday or Wednesday) and would trim the trees to the west.
Friday night a woman died in an accident there when she was T-boned
trying to get onto Pecos eastbound from Desert Foothills.
My question: What does it cost (purchase and install) for a traffic
light?
I'm going to suggest that the family sue the city for 100X the cost of
a traffic light.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
