The city is installing traffic signals at the intersection of Giant City and Pleasant Hill and should have them operational by Nov. 14. Apparently there have been a number of accidents at that location and the city hopes signals will reduce them. The most dangerous intersection in town, at least as far as I can tell, it Giant City and Hwy. 13. Signals have been there for decades but we still have one to two accidents a month.
One problem concerning another "dangerous intersection in town" is not only drivers speeding past red lights rushing to turn left along Pleasant Hill Road to Hwy 13 (while the car in the extreme left turn lane cannot see them) but also the fact that the Pleasant Hill Road exit near Huck's slopes down, so cars opposite cannot see approaching vehicles from that turning.
