## Resource

Crashes at the 43rd Ave and State St intersection in North Bismarck have more than doubled this year—thanks to construction on 19th Street funneling traffic onto a two-lane road. City engineers are tweaking traffic lights in real time, but backups persist, especially in the northbound right lane. Pedestrian signals and emergency vehicle preemption add to delays, while drivers are blamed for panic braking and not using both lanes. Store owners and police report a spike in rear-end collisions, urging drivers to slow down and space out. Relief is on the horizon: construction ends July 24th, and if crashes don’t drop, signal timing will be revisited.
