Mayor Asks for Safer Intersections
From The Missourian November 17, 2008
COLUMBIA — The behavior of two drivers was on trial in a recent personal injury lawsuit stemming from a 2005 accident involving a bicyclist. But the safety of a Columbia intersection was on trial as well.
In addition to the drivers, the bicyclist sued the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission because it maintains the intersection at College and Rollins avenues where the accident occurred. The bicyclist argued that had the traffic signal included an “all-red clearance,” the accident might have been avoided.
