There was a time when that intersection really was dangerous.
There was no turning lane o Tee St. There was no turning lane on Midde Rd. Middle Rd N side was not cut back like it is now. Midde Rd S side was not cut back giving a sight line westward for traffic coming out of Tee St.
The crashes continue at that junction. What is W&E supposed to do? Are the driving habits and distractions, phone, that bad?
Traffic lights? All way stop?
That intersection still is dangerous for those who do not take care.
I drive an ordinary car. When I come up Tee Street and want to turn left onto Middle Road I cannot see what is coming from the east if there is a truck or SUV in the right turn lane. I have to be careful and attentive in order to make the turn safely. More careful and attentive than usual.
But then again, I stop at stop signs, obey traffic lights and generally drive in a way that is not the norm in Bermuda anymore.
We need traffic lights there. I too had an accident there. Very hard to navigate during busy rush hour from top of Tee Street turning into Middle Road. Very short viewing distance of road heading east & the western side facing Hamilton difficult to see when cars queue to turn right onto Tee Street heading out of Hamilton.
