Quit talking about dangerous intersection, and fix it

It is absolutely outrageous that Bluffton Police and/or the S.C. Department of Transportation would effectively recommend that people not use the intersection where a young women and her unborn baby died as a result of a terrible auto accident.

Instead of paying lip service to a growing safety problem, fix the problem.

Lower the speed limit, change the turning arrows to either green or red, and start issuing volumes of speeding tickets. It’s no wonder that the citizenry have lost faith in their public officials to solve problems with common sense solutions.
