Description

This intersection is the only controlled intersection on Southwest Parkway that doesn't have a traffic light (it's the only 4-way stop), and because of this it is always a traffic bottleneck on that road.

I understand that the intersection needs to be controlled in some way because of children crossing the street for school, but I feel like a 4-way stop is a very inefficient method of doing that.

I think a traffic signal with pedestrian signals/buttons would be a much more efficient method to manage this intersection that would allow for both traffic management and pedestrian safety, while also making the investment in traffic signals at the intersections of Glade and Southwood more worthwhile.
