Descrição

My family moved into a neighborhood about 6 months ago that feeds out of Hugh Forest Rd onto Highway 51. While a light exists there, the problem is that cars heading south on 51 towards Pineville are often using that light to make u turns and cars making a right out of Hugh Forest that have a green light are colliding. Because there is an apartment complex next to Providence High school that does not have a left turn option, add to that Providence High traffic that wants to turn left, there seems to be a higher number of vehicles trying to make a u turn. The problem arises because there is no left turn arrow for the people making the u turn so there seems to be alot of ambiguity with regard to who has the right of way. People turning right off of Hugh Forest on a green light have the right of way but cars are still trying to make u turns and people heading south on 51 with a green light are making u turns and running into cars making a right on red. An arrow at the light would likely solve the issue or perhaps a sign that tells drivers who has the right of way. I'm guessing there is a record of the number of accidents at this intersection, however, the number of near misses I witness is on a daily basis.
