More carnage at killer intersection

How many more wrecks is it going to take before Lamar County gets with the times and installs a turning light from the BUSIEST intersection in this town. HELLO!!!SIMPLE SOLUTION TO A MAJOR PROBLEM!!! There needs to be a right and left turn light (ya know the one with the green arrow) at 18 turning left on 341 and for all traffic turning left onto 341 off of Rose Ave.

Killer intersection? Should be called stupid people crash... Its as safe as any other intersection. Maybe because its near a school with inexperienced drivers or near aldora where some of the counties "brightest" live at. If u PAY attn its safe. Think we need better drivers ed here esp for elder ppl and students.

Funny I have been turning there for years and have never had any close calls, problems or accidents.

Granted a Turn light there would be helpful because many of the accidents caused there are from impatient people not wanting to wait through the next light.

I live in Aldora and how in the hell do you figure where not the "brighest". We do not cause the wrecks nor are every one of the wrecks that happen at Ga 7 & and Hwy 18 has somebody that lives in Aldora in it, but since you are not the "BRIGHTEST" you probally know it as Hwy 341 and Hwy 18 and one more thing if you think we are bad drivers you know the not so bright people I have been asking for the sheriff dept to patrol are streets because young mind less non driving kids thinks it a race track! NOW thats probally YOUR "BRIGHTEST" spoiled brat!

Grow up, you two! Dumb people populate the world--heck, you probably have a few in your own family. I know I do. Down here, in general, if you were born in the country, attended a simple school, and didn't go to college, then yeah, you aren't very bright. But that's only because your education wasn't continued (which, in itself, might not have been a "bright" decision) and weren't subjected to more information and knowledge. Guess what--dumb people are EVERYWHERE!!!!

Now that we've cleared that up--driving accidents are usually caused by a lack of attention and proper caution from one party or another. This demonstrates a lack of common sense, which has nothing to do with your level of "brightness." There are tons of smart people who invariably do stupid things and vice versa, where there are tons of "stupid" people who continue to make right choices (moderate drinking, no drugs, etc.) because they *do* have common sense. That is something education can't fix and thus has nothing to do with whether the people around areas with frequent accidents have a higher education.

The. End.

I do hope all the blue bloods that just had to have multiple bypasses around their serene downtown are pleased. Certainly the increased traffic on 341 as a result would not have anything to do with the increased accident rate at these locations.

What I am waiting for is another massive accident with a train where the RR crosses 341.

The stupidity of the people in charge around here never ever ceases to amaze

That is so touching, thanks for sharing!

If u cannot see if the coast is clear you are a moron to chance it and go forward... Simple as that.

Yeah the answer is wake up put the darn cell phone down and pay attn. Guarantee it was a woman at fault bank on it

How many time? Deadly crash. Grove, Rose, Atlanta, Forsyth, Zebulon, Van Buren, Parker Brarch, City Pond, Abbott, Martin Luther King, Hwy 18 east, Hwy 18, Hwy 341 south, Hwy 36 north, I 75, Hwy 36 east, Hwy 36 west and Old 41 hwy.

The "read" car? You must live in Aldora.

If the red car ran the red light so did the SUV because she pulled out in front of the red car. That is the only way she got hit

If you are stuck in the intersection like waiting to turn left you have right of way to clear intersection when light turns red for people coming towards you.

If you are turning left you have no right of way if guy coming towards you has green. This is even if he turns to his right.

Blinking light go by blinking colors. Not 4 ways stop unless all blink red. Dead light go by four way stop.

Yield signs are bad. Idiots at DOT put in yield signs where they conflict with trafic signals. Wife got in wreck and GSP said trafic light takes priority over yield. Yield signs at light with no island teach drivers to be dumb. Yield sign meaningless at light with no island.
