Joe Barbee: Flat intersections between hills recipe for disaster Using 'Good sense' conflict between commercial traffic and local traffic should have been obvious. Comments re article 99373 Janice England suggests overpass over KY 61 for added safety Click on headline for complete commentary. By Joe L. Barbee Thank you so much Janice, for your insight to the problem. When our highway planners did not figure out you cannot build a bypass around a town to get through traffic out of thirty five mile per hour traffic and stop lights, and include flat intersections. You are dealing with two completely different trains of thought and transportation. Through traffic including trucks are encouraged, or required, to use the bypass, for safety and to save time. Mix this with locals using the bypass, who just want to go home, church, shopping, or eat. All you need to add, is a flat intersection between two hills and you have recipe for disaster. Pray that a church, or school bus traveling on old Greensburg, or Pelham Road does not intersect at the same time with a vehicle whose operator is being paid by the mile, looking at hill to climb. - Joe Barbee This story was posted on 2018-09-06 05:57:24
