    Same sh*t again! The people coming up from the joes hill split road don't stop, just keep driving as if they have the right of way!! Now they will say Government has to do something about this. I think everyone should get a mental health check before renewing their license. @#$$ fools!

      @ Is Hast. Not really. They just need to stop at the Stop sign, look both ways before proceeding, once nothing is coming down the hill. But apparently this is too difficult to do. But like "Hmm" said, I am beginning to think many drivers have mental issues. These can't be people with fully functional brains.

    Instead of waiting a few seconds and wait your turn, you lost couple hours off your day and a bit more stress.
    Indicator and brakes is all it takes. A lot of us are not mind readers nor stunt drivers.

    Not surprised at all. Too many accidents in this spot. Only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt there if corrective action is not taken. People come down the hill jamming, and those going up look like they have lead feet, as they completely ignore the stop sign.

    They come down that hill with way too much speed and those turning onto that stretch ignore the stop sign and come out. The ones coming down can't stop as they have no control with the speed they are approaching so what's going to happen, collision!
    Definitely need some speed bumps before someone gets killed. One at the stop sign and one as those coming down meet the junction. Not the wide speed bumps, just something high enough to cause discomfort if they go over too fast.
    When people don't want to abide by the law, everyone ends up paying the price. Humans are a disappointment!!

    The pickup doesn't even have on a license plate at the back. Goes to show their don't care attitude towards the law.

    From experience I notice the persons turning up don't stop. They behave as if the vehicle that are driving straight down to Russel Hill are the ones that are suppose to stop! Persons nearly drove into me more than once because they don't stop!

    A stop sign needs to be placed there since common sense ain't common!

    That road needs to be revisited. It needs at least one speed bump by the junction to slow down those mad drivers.

    Not to mention that from the junction down needs to be one way (either up only or down only). Too much speeding. Road too narrow for two way traffic.

    Don't let someone lose their life before the problems are addressed.
