Install a stoplight at Kula intersection

Boom! Crash! Shriek! These are the sounds, all too often, of the fender-benders and worse at the intersection of Omaopio Road and Kula Highway — an intersection that is frequently strewn with shattered glass and twisted metal, the consequences of drivers who take unreasonable chances. It is common to see those drivers running a stop sign, passing on a shoulder, edging beyond the intersection markings and incautiously accelerating to gain an advantage. What to do to mitigate more booming, crashing and shrieking?

The answer that seems to have escaped our road safety authorities is simple: Install a stoplight, now!
