They have amped up the stop signs at hamblen and 494. Thank good

Tubec : That's good, but unfortunately it won't help people who simply are poor, incompetent drivers.

You mean that 494 going north across Hamblen now has a stop sign?

buffaloglenn : the signs are lit and some do not enters were added. Effort has been made lol

This is good but thought they were going to put lights there. For sure they need them. Too many speeders on 494 going north and then running the light at Sorters. They need to put cameras there as well.

Hodge podge of do not enter signs pointing in various directions. Actually looks rather confusing.

sweetie : I'm not sure a light will work there, as a red light for those traveling north on 494 could back up flowing traffic going to the 59 feeder lane side. That will cause wrecks.

Tubec : I don't see how amped up stop signs are gonna help. What we need are traffic lights.

buffaloglenn : So what if it backs up traffic a little. People will get used to the 2 or 3 minute delay.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : It will cause wrecks during heavy traffic, as people coming off the freeway will exit and come upon an unexpected traffic stop. As it is now, the northbound traffic always has priority, and doesn't stop unless there is a train stopped on Hamblen. May be trading one hazard for another. Also, with people often running red lights, how is a light going to help?

buffaloglenn : We can disagree on this. I think a light is the best solution.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Time will tell!

buffaloglenn : You would think there would be a civil engineer that could figure out how to make that spot safer , but I guess Houston doesn't have one
