In response to the article Roads treated like raceways – 5 March 2015 I would like to add Highway 9 to the list of unsafe streets. I live at the south end of Mackay Crescent. In the summertime, and particularly on the weekends, it is extremely difficult to make a left hand turn onto the highway. The posted speed limit is 50 km but is ignored by most drivers. However, it isn’t just the speed that is a problem; it is the volume of traffic which has to go through Agassiz to get to Harrison. A light or even a 4 way stop at the corner would slow down traffic and make left hand turns safe.
