Dangerous Intersections: Mt. Pleasant-Sturtevant Readers Answer

MOUNT PLEASANT-STURTEVANT, WI — Not every intersection is created equal. Some may seem to cause headaches for drivers, while others may seem outright dangerous.

We asked Patch readers in Greenfield over Facebook on March 1, "What is the most dangerous intersection in town? And what would you do to fix it?"

Here's how people responded:

• "Kinzie and Ohio. So many turning left and no arrows = lots of cars turning into traffic. I've seen many cars laying on their side here," Heather E. wrote.
• "Would love to see a stop and go light at Prairie Dr & Hwy 20. Turning left from prairie to 20 is nearly impossible and gets really backed up when kids are trying to go to school," Kat S. wrote.
• "Wright and Ohio shoulda had a light there. A lot of close calls," Diana W. wrote.
• "Pick one Taylor and Wood Road or Wood Road and Braun Road. That 45 mph speed limit on Taylor doesn't help. Three-way stops at both are needed," Jill N. S. wrote.
  • "Do you mean Taylor and Braun? Where does Wood and Braun intersect? I agree, turning left from Braun onto Taylor is very dangerous. The speed limit is 35 through there," David Y. responded.
  • "Yeah that one 🙂 The speed limit is 45 just short of Braun. It's not unusual for people to still be going 45. It's hard to gauge their speed. If you're on wood Road turning left onto Taylor, good luck. Traffic gets heavy on Wood Road on school days. Parkside and Gateway are on Wood Road," Jill N. S. wrote in response.
• "38 and Spring," Nancy Z. M. wrote.
