The intersection of Central Pike and Pleasant Grove Road has proven to be extremely dangerous. The number of traffic incidents on record would indicate the hill on Central Pike severely inhibits visibility both for motorists traveling west bound on Central Pike and those waiting to enter Central Pike from Pleasant Grove Road. The current traffic control system (flashing yellow light) is insufficient to warn motorists of the dangers this intersection poses.
- Central Pike is an alternative route to Interstate 40, driving additional traffic volume.
- Triple Crown neighborhood, and surrounding developments, continue to expand which creates additional traffic from Pleasant Grove turning east bound onto Central Pike toward Providence.
- This is an intersection used by school transportation in both the morning and afternoon - the ability of buses to both turn and reach the speed of traffic creates a dangerous situation for our children.
The petitioners are requesting the City of Mount Juliet explore and implement additional measures to improve this intersection in order to improve safety for all motorists and community members before we experience a serious incident. As a first step, the petitioners would request the City perform an analysis of the site, traffic patterns, and traffic records and arrive at a publicly available conclusion as to the general safety and any possible steps which can be taken.
Thank you.

I spent a good hour just watching the cars fly over that hill earlier today and it honestly gave me heart palpitations thinking about the school buses navigating it. People keep sending me messages about their own close calls at this exact spot which just proves we are right about the danger here even if the city keeps pretending the flashing light is enough.

I honestly cannot believe how many people have clicked on this since I started typing it out on my laptop during breakfast. It really says something about how tired we all are of gripping the steering wheel so tight every single time we turn onto Central Pike because honestly that hill is just a nightmare waiting to happen.

I have come close to being hit so many times. People FLY over the hill all the time. The flashing yellow lights do NOTHING to help. We need to make it a 3 way stop or a red light, or flatten out the hill. Something. It is ridiculous the amount of accidents that happen there.
As Mt Juliet is growing so is the traffic at this intersection. If you are coming from Pleasant Grove Rd wanting to turn onto Central Pike you can not see if a car is coming over that rise in front of the church. No matter what time of day Central Pike is heavily traveled. I myself have almost been in an accident at this intersection more than once. Something really needs to be done about it before someone is severely injured if not killed.
Please add a red light or a stop there! I almost got hit turning with my kids in the car.
This intersection is very dangerous ...you cannot see cars coming up over the ridge when entering Central Pike.
Very dangerous intersection.
This intersection is very dangerous! Please take the necessary actions to ensure that everyone that crosses that intersection is as safe as possible. A red light would remedy this potentially deadly intersection. You have the potential to save lives, and keep people safe!
Dangerous intersection!

We hold our breath every time we turn either right or left onto Central Pike. Because of the hill, visibility is almost nonexistent. We have to cross our fingers and hope for the best.
