It isn't the intersection, its the drivers. Nothing is going to fix that but driving skills. Either you know when to stop or you don't. The State of Ohio cannot fix people and their ability to understand Red light, yellow light, green light. This is why we need to impliment testing for people over the age of 65 if that is what happened here.
In drivers' ed many years ago, we had to watch a movie by The Dept. of Highway Safety, the movie was called Signal 30. Perhaps everyone needs to watch it when renewing their operator's license. Watch it on you tube, see if you agree.
I dive that road everyday for work. It begs accidents. If you dont try to go around cars you will sit through three light cycles.... go sit and watch....

So much for the improved intersection.....
You can fix the intersection but you can not fix the driving skills of the elderly
from the likes of some of the comments on here you can fix the driving skills of the stupid either.

I remember that movie. I also remember a football player fainting dead away at my feet when we watched it. lol Everyone should be made to see that.
Watched it over 40 yrs ago in driver's ed. Still remember that blond head of hair limply dangling to the side when they removed her body.
Note, Signal 30 is actual footage, no reinactments.
