Description

The traffic light under the freeway is misaligned and angled towards the feeder traffic moving Westbound towards beltway 8. Caused 2 serious traffic accidents one day after the other. Around the same time late at night. Maybe dwi who knows but I seen many drunks running redlights without even looking. They are too drunk to see that the traffic light on the right hand side is angled towards them and the run the intersection thinking it's a green light for them. This light will likely continue to cause accidents because it does not have a shield around it to keep the feeder people from seeing it.
