Yikes!

It looks like a really lousy intersection from that angle (and with the lens) but an plan view aerial shot would give a better idea of the layout.

IN fact, I don’t think that’s the current state of the intersection. Dunno if this link will work but judging by the google maps aerial, the intersection had been improved to modern standards.

That’s actually a pretty good looking intersection. Not bad at all.

Might maybe could use additional (and oversized) advance signing on the downhill approach.

I found the aerial and posted it right below you.

Could also be made safer by adding luminaires. They got electrical lines right there. Why not light up the intersection. Usually doesn’t hurt safety.

That’s a great aerial shot of the intersection and surrounding area. Too bad I don’t have access to my normal tools. I would have took a cropped screen cap and posted it.

Thanks. It was apparently a wedding party.
