I have a "T" intersection near my house.
The "cross" of the "T" has right-of-way with a speed limit of 55, but usual speeds are 70:
EW (Pecos Road) |-(stop sign) | | (Desert Foothills)
View to the west is blind due to a slightly rising hill.
Traffic density on Pecos has recently increased dramatically due to a new freeway section opening several miles to the east.
I have been harping at the city to do something about this unsafe intersection but was told basically "tough, you're not getting a traffic light anytime soon and they don't put stop signs on feeders", but he'd grace my complaint by repainting the white front-edge stripe (done last Tuesday or Wednesday) and would trim the trees to the west.
Friday night a woman died in an accident there when she was T-boned trying to get onto Pecos eastbound from Desert Foothills.
My question: What does it cost (purchase and install) for a traffic light?
I'm going to suggest that the family sue the city for 100X the cost of a traffic light.
