## Resource

Drivers are facing dangerous blind spots at key intersections like Lake Otis Parkway and O’Malley Road, where left-turn lanes offer zero visibility of oncoming traffic. Flashing yellow lights meant to improve flow are backfiring, encouraging risky maneuvers as drivers grow impatient. Speed limits are too high for the cross-traffic, and frustrated drivers are honking or yelling at those who wait for safety — turning a simple turn into a tense, dangerous game. Other intersections like Independence Drive and Abbott Road suffer from the same design flaw, creating a widespread safety hazard. The choice is clear: safety over speed — and a few extra seconds can save lives. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
