Description
I drive this curve every day, and most days someone driving toward me is on my side of the road and has to swerve to get out of the way. There needs to be a convex mirror so you can see oncoming traffic (from either direction), or at the very least a sign. Especially because this is beside a high school, you have a lot of student or inexperienced drivers making that curve--every day. It's an accident waiting to happen.
Details
- What kind of sign is it?
- blind curve

- Staff · April 23, 2024The Manual for Uniformed Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) contains the national standards governing all traffic control devices. All public agencies with roads open to public travel across the nation rely on the MUTCD to bring uniformity to the roadway. A convex mirror is not a traffic control device and not installed by the Dept of Public Works.
