Accident on Elm

Mid-afternoon on Nov. 15th a vehicle failed to yield to oncoming traffic as it tried to make a left hand turn from 65th St. onto Elm.  This is a bad intersection. It has many elements working against it.

A hill/depression to the South hides oncoming traffic.

Drivers on Elm routinely speed and use Elm as a shortcut between 350 Highway and 63rd St.

Drivers heading East on 65th often speed though the intersection, as it angles into Elm allowing for little to no speed reduction.

That aforementioned angle also makes it hard to see oncoming traffic from the South.
