Where are the authorities in Saint Mary’s county ?
That is the most dangerous intersection in the county
Many lives lost !!
When somebody in the local government is going to address that ?
How many more accidents and deaths should be enough to fix it ?
Is just horrible when I read accidents after accidents there year after year 😡
How so? Is that what everyone says, when an accident happens “it’s the most dangerous.” How can every intersection be the most dangerous? I seriously doubt the traffic is that bad on Budds Creek Road that you need to change anything with this area. Just common sense look both ways before going. You can’t fix bad drivers. What do you recommend? I surely hope it isn’t a light either.
The county is too busy approving gas stations, Chik-fil-a’s, car washes and lowering the speed limit to 45 MPH on Rt 5 for half the county.
I don’t know, but call me crazy, WHY are there so many horrific accidents down here? Slow down, no need to pass if the car in front of you in a 55 is going 60 NO REASON FOR YOU TO GO 90, stop to tailgating, watch your surroundings, PAY ATTENTION . . . . these are lives you are endangering . . . SLOW DOWN . . .
