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

buffaloglenn : Until drivers on the 59 feeder road actually drive the posted speed limit, accidents will continue. Evening rush hour is particularly bad. Add that left hand turn off of Hamlen to go under the bridge, it makes the intersection very dangerous.They need a night there to slow the feeder road traffic down and make the Hamlin crossing safer.
I pity the FC folks when NP construction gets into full swing. Hamlin will get much busier, especially that left turn under the bridge for morning commuters. A busy Hamlin means more traffic on FC Drive and Walnut.

Tubec : Already proved not going to help. There was an accident there yesterday around 4:30. The firetrucks and police had 494 blocked to one lane and there was a white SUV on the median. Not sure of the injuries because I just drove by it and all the emergency vehicles were blocking most of it.

Probably ought to just get rid of piece of 494 heading south past Sorters. Make them cross the bridge over fwy, turn left down southbound feeder and go under the freeway, then back up to Hamblen.

Texasdad : The whole issue could be resolved by removing the ability to go directly from 494 south across to Hamblen. People traveling south on 494 to Hamblen should have to go up and over 59 and then under the bridge. Let 494 South end at the light at Sorters, make it a right turn only there! I already use this method in order to avoid that intersection. Remove that sketchy little cross over altogether! As it stands, that work done at the interaction did not address the problem, there has already been another wreck there since it's installation.

Tubec : No to lights. Yes to better drivers. The solution is Harris county was supposed to move Hamblen drive north to intersect with Sorters McClellan and build an overpass over the railroad tracks. This was in conjunction with the Park and bike trails near the river. This was a couple of years ago, I'm hoping that still happens

Happyface : If it floods or has high water under the bridge going east to Hamblen then they would have to use Kingwood Drive to get into FC. But it is what it is.
