That awful intersection !

Again last Friday I witnessed yet another accident ( three or four

    cars were towed from the scene) at the awful intersection right near

    the Warwick Beacon office - Church and Warwick .

            It is not asking too much of the local paper to pay at least

    as much attention to these things as the publisher's favorite hack

    politicians.

           The red light system at Church and Warwick was a designed for

    the traffic condition of 4 decades ago. A RIPTA bus, about to turn

    left at the intersection  into Church Ave. must wait for some driver

    coming in the opposite direction to yield . Fat chance !

            Clearly there is a demand here for a green arrow -giving

    the bus the clear right of way.

            It foolish in busy traffic to leave always dangerous turning

    to a driver's judgment. ( It is foolish ) .

          A simple adjustment like this can prevent numerous accidents.

     The Beacon should shine its rather dim lights on this situation.

            This letter will be forwarded to the Providence Journal .
