You've seen it in the paper, you've heard it from your friends, and I bet you've even seen it on TV. I'm talking about all of the car accidents out at the Clearwater River Casino. Having been in one of those accidents, I know what needs to be done out there.
If you've driven out there, you've probably seen the bright yellow signs that the highway department put out that say, "Turning traffic ahead." They say the problem is not watching for traffic for both directions. In my opinion the highway department needs to put out stop signs or a three-way stoplight. The Idaho highway department says there is nothing wrong with the way the road was built.
People have been killed, injured and traumatized. Nothing is ever going to be done unless someone makes it happen, so why is the department of transportation just sitting around? There are too many accidents out there. At one point there were two or three accidents a week. It's calmed down a little by now, but let's fix the problem. Call the Idaho Department of Transportation at 208-334-8000.
