LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Lloyd Drive intersection not dangerous

Letter writer David Dietrich says he disagrees that the intersection on Highway 16 is dangerous and needs changed

Regarding Ted Clarke’s 3/4 page comment on the Lloyd Drive intersection onto Highway 16 – I think he is nuts, along with John Morrison. 

Having driven that stretch of road for over 50 years, I can honestly say that visibility is excellent in both directions for at least three kilometers.

I have never seen, or experienced a problem there ever. I know the area well and also know that there is a lot of truck traffic; mostly chip trucks that are coming down the easy hill, or about to climb it, going into a passing lane. 

Those who are coming out of Lloyd Drive have a lot of visibility in both directions onto the highway and people from the highway turning onto Lloyd Drive have plenty of visibility also. All they need to do is open their eyes and possibly wait for a clear opportunity to turn.

It is nothing short of stupidity to pull out in front of highway traffic, who clearly have the right of way.
