It's about time. If you're traveling between Opelika and Phenix City along U.S. Highway 280/431, you will finally notice a traffic signal is being erected at the intersection of the highway and Lee Road 379 as you near Smiths Station.
I asked myself, "why did this take so long?" How many people lost their lives at that dangerous intersection? Before, traffic on Lee Road 379 would back up as vehicles braved danger to either cross the four-lane highway or merge on to it. After a while, motorists get tired of waiting and get risky. That's when accidents happen. And when accidents happen at 65 mph, they usually turn out ugly.
