Jimmy Deloach Gets Traffic Signal
Jimmy Deloach Gets Traffic Signal What’s described as one of the most deadly intersections in West Chatham County will soon have a traffic signal.
That’s after the city council approved the funding at today’s council meeting.
The intersection of Jimmy Deloach and Benton Boulevard has been the site of three deadly accidents in as many years.
This area was rural at one point, but is now the main thoroughfare to the port and in a couple of months there will be even more traffic because of a new school.
Motorists and law enforcement have been telling us for several years that a traffic light is needed here.
A light will be placed at Jimmy Deloach and Benton Boulevard and at Jimmy Deloach and Crossroads Parkway, another intersection with a high rate of accidents.
The total cost will be a little over eighty eight thousand dollars.

That intersection wouldn’t be so dangerous if people would actually bother to stop at the stop sign. That’s the big issue. Just because you put up a traffic light doesn’t mean that it will get safer. Now you will just have people who don’t want to wait and run the light and cause more accidents. How about helping the people with a stop light to get in and out of Pooler Elementary instead of the crossing guards one of whom barely gets out of her car and the other one tries to get everyone taken care of. I can’t tell you how many people I see that never stop at the signs at this “DEADLY INTERSECTION”. If people would obey traffic laws then a lot of these accidents wouldn’t happen.
