i live on goettner rd , very bad accident

Does anyone know what happened? I've seen some very bad driving at that intersection lately, especially people turning left onto Sunshine, not realizing that they need to exit onto Jerusalem then turn left.

Yes, this intersection is terrible and ridiculous. I live within hearing distance of it. When the previous fixes were done in 2005, they refused to really fix the problem, which is the 24 degree intersection, just added a lane on Bradshaw and put in that stupid "jug-handle" for a left turn onto Sunshine. Wouldn't be surprised if this accident were a result of that bad design. Part of the problem is the incorrect signage. I've written the state several times and they just insist it's okay. Anyone can see that it is wrong.
As for the no left turn onto Sunshine, when you get to the actual intersection going north on Belair Rd, there is no sign visible. And they continue to allow dangerous left turns in and out of JSI, which never complied with a requirement to close off part of their continuous driveway..
I have a file on this intersection going back 15 years.

The accident was actually at Belair and Jerusalem.

Thanks for the update. Some of the problems at this intersection: the left turn from Jerusalem onto Belair Rd., the high-speed exit ramp from Belair onto Jerusalem, the right-turn-on-red from Bradshaw onto Belair where US Transportation guidelines say there should not be one, the no left turn on red sign on the pole by JSI (does anyone know whether it's intended for traffic on Sunshine or traffic on Belair?) And all the signs that are facing the wrong way!

The stretch between the gunpowder rivers is treacherous. I avoid the left lanes at all costs and never try to make a left onto Belair rd.

Why don't they eliminate the "garden" and use it improve the situation?l

People simply drive too fast rushing home in that stretch. Low visibility spots and roads crossing at 45 degree angles makes it more visually confusing when entering that area. I say eliminate the Jerusalem Rd exit at the car lot. Cut half the garden away raising visibility and add a northbound "turn right only" short lane.

The engineering at this location is pitiful. I live off of Jerusalem Road and everyday is like taking a chance with your life. There needs to be a left turn lane off of Belair Road onto Sunshine Avenue and a right turn only onto Jerusalem/Bradshaw Rds..I have heard that the triangle had problems due to the old Drug Store at that location and possible contamination and that the church on the n/e corner had grave sites too close to Belair Road to widen on their side. A change for public safety sake has to be made. Currently cars are turning onto Jerusalem Rd from n/b Belair and making a left onto Bradshaw and then a right back onto Belair Rd to avoid the red light and get ahead of other traffic, adding to this hazard area. A change is needed as fast as possible.

I don't know anything about angles and haven't memorized the signs at the intersection as I don't travel up Belair Road too frequently. All I know is on Sunday, my husband and I were almost hit going north in the right lane heading to Bel Air when 2 cars and a box truck suddenly realized they couldn't take a left onto Sunshine and tried to exit onto Jerusalem in front of us. Thank heaven for good brakes and reflexes or we would have been another statistic for the books.

i set on my deck ever day and watch the police ticket speeders , does not help, from, kingsville liquors stretch, just a mess of an area, i know,they are trying to close him down also

I usually have to go through this intersection on my way to work, but I've been avoiding it for a few months now because traffic is treacherous through there. I take Mt. Vista these days, so much less traffic.

Ya that is a tough place. The church and land adjoining I believe is protected for historic value. That church moved from their original Baltimore Town (Rumsey Island, MD) site around 1800 or so to that location. They even moved the grave sites and bodies which date from around 1680-1800 to that graveyard on the corner of Jerusalem and Belair. Geez... even the old white oak tress in that graveyard are over 4-500 years old.

That corner is not ever going to be expanded or erased.

Tough spot...tough solutions, but that stupid garden triangle can go for better visibility at least.

Someone was out there fixing the no turn on red sign this morning!

For those who want to see something done about this intersection, come to the Greater Kingsville Civic Association meeting sometime and tell the board that you want it to deal with community issues such as this. The web site is GKCA.INFO
