Description
There needs to be a all way stop where Northern Pines Rd and Travor Rd meet !! You cant see traffic and only one side out of 3 at a 3 way crassing have a stop sign. Traffic moves at a high rate of speed. Must someone die before a simple fix of 2 more stop signs be put up !!!

How many accidents have there been at that intersection in the past 10 years? I drive through that intersection multiple times a day, and if people are going the speed limit (and are kind enough to use a blinker) it's not so bad.
Installing more stop signs would needlessly slow traffic. As far as I know, there isn't an accident problem there.

May as well make the speed limit 20 and put flashing yellow lights everywhere to "prevent a tragedy." Should also make sure people stop jogging, riding their bikes and walking their dogs there to "prevent a tragedy."
I asked how many accidents have been at that intersection in the past 10 years. The traffic itself doesn't warrant a stop sign, so if you can (factually) tell me there has been a lot of accidents at that intersection maybe I'd agree. But, with there not being a traffic flow issue, and no proven issue with accidents... no real reason for a stop sign.

No, they are there to keep the flow of traffic moving safely, and expediently. You don't just stick up stop signs or stop lights "just because something may happen". May as well throw them up on every rural road because a deer could jump out. May as well put them on the boundaries of every school since a kid may run out. Also, at every place a snowmobile trail crosses a road.. throw them up there as well.
Why not put one up at Northern Pines and Gailor? Northern Pines and Carr? Jones and Carr? Could be a tragedy at each of those, and in fact I believe there has been more accidents at at least one of those than the one you want a stop sign at.
What about just a larger sign on Gailor at the existing stop sign that says "NOBODY ELSE STOPS!! YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!!"
