Description
There NEEDS to be a traffic signal here.
Turning left onto Redwood Rd. from Ring Rd. is a nightmare. It's extremely dangerous. Traffic in the morning hours is always high, and people never do the 45 MPH speed limit.
Just prior to Ring Rd is a hill so seeing southbound traffic clearly before proceeding is difficult.
The more building being done out here (and there are two more huge developments going in on Redwood Rd.) the worse this is going to get.
Furthermore, with there being a fire station here on Ring Rd, I would think a signal would be a high priority.
Aside from widening Redwood Rd, a signal is the only solution. Please don't wait until somebody gets in a wreck.

As a resident of this city and this subdivision, this traffic light would be so important and beneficial to the community. This area is growing fast and the number of drivers passing this specific intersection is growing and so is their speed.
Please don't wait to address this after one of us have lost someone due to this poor intersection. The street of Redwood road is also not wide enough to make any corrections or adjustments if necessary when quick cars are approaching.
Please truly look into this intersection. Even if just one life is saved by fixing this-it would be well worth it. It could be any of us! Turning left from Ring onto Redwood is difficult, scary sometimes and really needs a light.
I know not everyone will agree- especially those who live South of this intersection, but it is obviously because they don't have to try and exit safely from our subdivision. in my experience so far, this stop light is not an IF situation... It's a WHEN! It is needed NOW.

I have been in a near crash here already and have only lived in the area for 2 months. The south bound right turn lane causes a blind spot, that will hide the car driving straight when someone is in the right turn lane. I proceeded to enter the north bound lane from ring road only to find a car headed right at me. I braked and they braked and turned into me only to correct there actions and continue straight.
This area needs to be remedied.
