The speed limit is indeed lowered to 45 which is still ridiculously fast for that intersection. It should be more like 35.
I agree that a roundabout would be the optimal solution, but it seems like it would take ages to implement. Worth starting the process, for sure. But until then, the temporary stop light would be a real life-saver - and I mean that quite literally. I'd rather sit in backed up traffic because of a stop light than I would because of another horrendous accident.
I drive through this intersection every time I go anywhere, and I cringe every time too. It's scary! SLOW DOWN PEOPLE!!!!
Lotus, I am so sorry for your traumatic experience in witnessing that horrible accident. I pray your friend is safe and sound.
aloha, Liz
