January 10, 2025 at 11:52 AMWhen are people going to demand changes to this intersection? Rural roundabouts are effective in preventing this. Jason White? Anyone?
See U.S. 72 and State Route 7 in Benton County.
Likewise According to MDOT, “A roundabout installed at the State Route 7 and State Route 9W intersection south of Oxford in Lafayette County in 2022 is already proving to make that intersection safer. Between 2016 and 2021 there were 53 crashes at the intersection, including four fatalities. Preliminary data collected between January 2022 and September of this year recorded only six total crashes at the intersection, with only one crash resulting in any injury. This represents a 78% reduction in crashes and a 100% reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes thus far.”

January 11, 2025 at 7:58 AMThis is a very dangerous intersection. I live less than a mile from it past Dr. Quicks office. The biggest problem I see is the cars coming off 19 veering to go to Kosciusko does not want to stop, especially the big trucks. I have came close to several close calls of an accident. They also try to beat crossing over in front of big trucks that can’t stop as quickly as a car/truck can. I pray they soon make some type of change there.
