Improper placement of Stop sign and lack of Yield sign for traffic turning from northbound Rte 116 onto Barrack Hill Rd @ Rte 116. Drivers fail to yield to oncoming traffic on Barrack Hill Rd. Very dangerous intersection. Stop sign for Barrack Hill to turn left onto Rte 116 in wrong location.

Dear Joe,
At this intersection it is not a matter of speed or in this case even phone use. It is the simple fact that drivers making the left turn onto Barrack Hill Road form Rte 116 are supposed to, by law, grant the right of way to other traffic on Barrack Hill Road. That is, grant right of way to traffic turning right onto Barrack Hill Rd from Rte 116 and traffic on Barrack Hill Road that is going to turn left onto Rte 116.
Yes a driver must pay attention, but they must obey traffic laws and in this case it is only a matter of time before there is a serious accident.
This particular intersection is plagued by drivers not granting the right of way and making improper turns by cutting the corner before the proper location on Rte 116.
Speed and phone use are a problem, but in this case they are not the issue. I am quite sure if you were involved in an accident @ this intersection and you were the operator that had the right of way on Barrack Hill Rd you would not relinquish your not being at fault in the accident.
