Letter: Plenty of traffic signals Vicki Brock writes: A stop light won't prevent wrecks. Until everyone pays attention at stop signs/lights, there will be wrecks. I think we have plenty of traffic signals for the size of our town. Human error is the cause of most accidents. I dont have any suggestions on how to change human behavior. Billy Joe do you? If you and I could come up with something to fix that we'd be rich!Comments re: Letter: When will we get a signal? 2024-03-11 08:45:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
