Can this deadly Hudson Valley road (Route 28) be made safer? by HV1
“Some remedial measures to eliminate maddening relics of a bygone era in the Route 28 corridor are so simple it’s a wonder they haven’t been implemented. Drivers on the minor roads in Hurley and Olive built contiguous to the Ashokan Reservoir didn’t have t-intersections with Route 28 to benefit from. There was nowhere to cross to.
Even now, the stop signs and lines on these minor roads are on irregular angles to the major highway, causing problems of visibility for drivers wishing to enter Route 28. For just a few dollars, these intersections could be made perpendicular to the main highway. Though doing so would decrease accidents and save lives, for decade after decade it hasn’t been done.”
