Flashing yellow lights meant to improve flow are backfiring, encouraging risky maneuvers as drivers grow impatient.

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.
