" Crash information from 2019 and 2020 showed at least four serious collisions at this intersection where a traffic signal may have provided effective mitigation."
Wasn't there a serious collision there the first week the light was activated? Maybe it's my lack of faith of others' driving skills but expecting a few hundred people per day to safely navigate that intersection without a light seems statistically more likely to succeed than the same number of people PLUS tens of thousands of "highway only people" navigating it with a light.
I'm just curious if the light doesn't "mitigate" the collision situation if it will be left in place regardless. Anybody using the light from the business park side with an opinion on it? Just from my observation the line of traffic there seems longer than it used to be. I've only made right hand turns out of there but never found crossing the highway to get into the park to be an issue.
