Not the intersection. It is drivers not paying attention because of issues such as cell phones etc. The police need to pay more attention and ticket the drivers. I see people on their phones all the time including Galloway police officers.

I do not disagree that people are distracted but that is everywhere and you just do not see that many accidents in one spot for no reason. It is a dangerous intersection. There is no way you can deny it.

If it looks like a duck...

Then you must be one of the people that I am talking about. Do you use your cell phone when driving? Can't be more obvious that you have to stop! There is a sign and a big flashing red light. Police must agree they gave the person a ticket.

Yes, because I disagree with you that an intersection is dangerous, it must be because am one of the people you were talking about. Well then you must be an idiot. If you read my post you would clearly see that my point was that these morons do not pay attention EVERYWHERE but you normally do not see that many accidents, in the same exact place, all the time, unless there are mitigating circumstances that aid people with their inability to drive. #obtuse

The driver who ran the stop sign lives on Aloe St and is familiar with the intersection!!! Not the intersection fault.

OK genius. You are right. "Not the intersection fault"
(I did not add any exclamation points to emphasize my point... sorry )

Name another exact spot in Galloway that there are that many, extrication required, calls? You can't. Sure, we get them on 30, just not in the same spot, all the time. We get them on Jimmy Leeds. Again, not in the same spot. Pitney, Quail Hill, Moss Mill... Again, not always in the same, exact spot. You people are dolts. The whole lot of you. Stop by sometime and I will give you a dollar so you can buy yourself a clue.
