This is incredibly dangerous, with speeding cars, no visibility, and incoming cars from another side street. There is no way to make a safe turn. It's also near several centers with children's programs, a dance school, an art program at the Chocolate Factory, and a Kindermusik class. Driving with children on this road is particularly terrifying, and I hope DOT will, at the very least, provide safer signage.

This is a very dangerous intersection. I have witnessed accidents there several times! Will nothing be done until someone gets killed!

There are no fewer than 6 curb cuts in this one area all feeding in to route 9. Its incredibly dangerous for pedestrians, and bikers, as well as frustrating for cars.

It's so difficult to make a left turn off of Firehouse Lane and onto Route 9. A dangerous intersection that is long overdue for a traffic light.

This should have happened a LONG time ago. I sure hope something is done!

Dangerous intersection with traffic flowing from three angles, including the RH Estates, a residential development, several businesses, and a firehouse. Let's make it safe for our children, residents, and visitors.

Horrible intersection that is very dangerous. Do not wait until an accident, injury, or death before making changes. This is a long time coming.

This is one of the worst intersections in Red Hook! We NEED a light there!

I live in Red Hook Estates and find it very difficult to get out onto Route 9 from our development a traffic light would not only help with this issue but also with the safety issue of that intersection

I am a resident of Cambridge Drive, and drive through that intersection every day, making a dangerous left turn onto Route 9 from Amherst. It is indeed a problem intersection, owing to several other streets, and a deli parking lot, feeding in nearby, which increases volume and often interferes with visibility.

There have been several accidents at this intersection involving many different cars from one of three bad angles. There was even a pedestrian killed at this same intersection a few years back. We need this light before anyone else is injured or worse yet another person dies.
