I don't believe you measured from the correct area. The concern is exiting Castlebridge to the left onto Homewood. We can not see oncoming cars until they round the curve. There is no signage from 108 to Homewood stating speed limit and the oncoming cars are driving very fast down the hill. Please measure from the median exiting the community looking left, as if you were exiting the community.

Thank you

I think the intersection is still extremely dangerous. I think there has to be some signage on Homewood to warn the drivers to slow down as they go down that hill 50 60 miles an hour leaving seconds to make a safe left, please reconsider your response.

Has any of you made a left turn on a busy day from Castlebridge to Homewood as it takes three seconds for a speeding driver impact and get Smashed into this means flawless execution of a left perfectly without hesitation 100% of the time or major injury and accident death and dismemberment could occur

This issue was recategorized from Risk Management to Sign and Marking Concern.

I think just 2 more speed limit signs will help between 108 and Castlebridge. Make it 30 mph until cars pass castlebridge then make it 40 right after Castlebridge.

Sight distance verified as 500'. see marks in field.

So will you be adding another sign? Is this case close and nothing will be done? If so then the death that result will certainly be on your conscience
