I have been running here for over 10 years and have experienced many close calls.

I walk this trail on a regular basis and agree that it is unsafe.

This is a very dangerous intersection to cross. I often ride my bicycle on this trail, and crossing at this site is always very difficult.

I’ve nearly been hit by blind crossing due to no cross walk signal. Much needed #savelives

The intersection needs to be improved for traffic as well, particularly vehicles coming to or from 9W/Highland Ave and Main Street. It is impossible to know which cars are making the “jog” and which are actually tuning onto Orangeburg Rd.

I am scared every time I have to cross this intersection with my children when we're walking or biking the rail trail. There has to be a way to make this safer!

I walk this trail all the time and see cars , walkers, and families on bikes try to navigate this intersection. With no cross walk to allow safe passage, folks make a mad dash across when the hope it’s safe because they clearly cannot see if a car is coming.

Pedestrians are unable to see the traffic lights and cannot make a safe decision when to cross.

This intersection could do with some Improvement to help pedestrians cross safely.

This is a wide staggered intersection, and it's impossible to tell when the lights will change and cars will start accelerating towards you when you are halfway across. After a relaxing run along the dirt trail away from the roads it's a rude awakening to suddenly find yourself in the middle of a busy roadway, and seems quite unsafe no matter how careful you are.
