Does it seem like we can't go a day without some kind of major traffic issue in Shreveport-Bossier City, LA anymore? If you're like me, you're wondering about how many idiots are on the roads!
One of the traffic incidents that ranks high in Louisiana is the number of hit-and-runs. In fact, this city has the most hit-and-runs that ended in a fatality.
For as long as many of us can remember, it's been red, yellow, green. Granted, in some places, you see a separate part of the light that shows protected greens or yellow or whatever. But generally, the 3-color combo is what we've known.
Now, whether some people in the Dallas and Tyler, Texas area actually understand what those colors MEAN is another conversation entirely. Yeah, we're looking at you, yellow light speeder-uppers! (That's a technical term, of course.)
Once upon a time, this intersection was fairly easy to navigate using one's attention and safe driving. However, as traffic has increased in this area of South Tyler, making a turn from any of the four directions has become precarious. I know several people who have taken alternate routes as a result--including my Mom who unfortunately was in an accident there. Thankfully, all parties involved were okay.
But it had become a dangerous intersection.
