Everyone who lives in bonnyman and typo please read this before a bad accident happens. And i'm not talking about a car accident. The next time i'm driving on highway 15 and one of you morons stop in the middle of the road to wait for traffic to clear before you make your left turn. i will follow you your house and set your car on fire.

well i might not do that but i swear to God do you all not see the no left turn signs hanging from the caution lights?

people need to obey the 45mph speed limit for that intersection also. signs are posted both sides 45mph.

There have always been intersections in the county that are dangerous but the road dept. does nothing to make it better. There needs to be 3 lanes at all junctions and ppl need to stay off cell phones and watch what they are doing and there would not be near the accidents that just watching out for the other guy causes. Be careful, look and try to look at read sings, if you can't read them, don't drive at all.

yea but the road dept fixed this dangerous intersection, they made a road that runs underneath the bridge on 15 so drivers dont have to risk death to make left hand turns off of and onto 15 and yet people still make illegal left turns. they put up signs too... it's not lazy it's just ignorant.

There was an intersection of another area of perry county where people claimed they could not seethe stop sign. So the county posted the biggest Stop sign I have ever seen. Maybe people at this intersection needs the same. A huge no left turn sign!

I agree 100% They are still making illegal turns I see it everyday. I wish the Police would write a few tickets to these ignorant people who think the road signs DONT apply to them. I am guessing that if you are involved in an accident at this intersection making the wrong turn it will be your fault no matter who is at fault..

The Dist Judge would just throw it out, why waste their time to write the ticket?? I agree it need to be done but nothing is fair in this county..

no one in hazard follows any driving rules. i swear im about hit more than once every time i get on the roads. the new bridge area on main st is going to cause some wrecks to. trying to get into the wal mart shopping center is pure hell. thats the worst designed shopping center ive ever seen.

Amen!! I almost followed a little red car that made me stop and wait til traffic passed for her to turn left. and the funny thing about it...there was a Sheriff's vehicle in front of me and directly behind it. the sheriff's vehicle went off the road and went AROUND the car while i sat there behind it waiting on three cars to pass from the opposite direction.

FURIOUS.....

the sign just might need to be bigger. i just found the damn thing about a week ago.

I still havent seen that sign....
I wish they would do something about the dumbasses that turn left into East Ky Rental. Just down the past the Food City traffic light people turn left into the drive way for East Ky Rental. I drive an 18wheeler, and do you all know how unsafe that is???
Go on down and make a flip and turn in there from the right

they just put the signs up maybe 2 or 3 days after this story was posted on wymts website. It's pretty ridiculous. I mean these people complained forever about fixing this problem, and now that it's fixed they don't care.
