January 13, 2026 at 1:18 PMThat corner has so many accidents. surely there is some way to alleviate the traffic there. 35 runs without stop and 19s must chance the turn or crossing when there is possibly someone coming over the hill too fast (can’t see them first) or coming from the carthage direction at high speed. It’s always hard to get accross that highway safely. AND if the big trucks are attempting to turn onto 19S they have barely enough room and often people pinch them in not realizing they have such a wide turn ratio and either they HIT you sitting there at the stop or wind up in the dirt center with the oncoming merging traffic from 35 opposite. not sure what ya’ll need to do but sure that something does need doing.
