The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the intersection of Highway F and I94 in Waukesha County (Pewaukee to be exact) has been the site of 280 motor vehicle collisions since 2003. The County Safety Engineer states that simply adjusting the traffic signals so drivers can only turn with an arrow might help. They also note the high amount of traffic at that intersection.
I have some personal experience with this intersection. I worked at a law firm located near that stretch of road in 2002. Even then it was busy. Since then, a number of commercial buildings have popped up. At 5 o’clock it is a pain to drive anywhere near there.
What to do? Contact your county supervisor, aldermen, mayor and County Executive. Hopefully, the more complaints the sooner they will take action.
