Not-so-safe corridor
The 6.1-mile “safety corridor” on Route 220 will never become part of Interstate 99, with roads, streets and driveways connecting directly to the highway. Plus, there is a low-hanging railroad bridge near the beginning of the corridor. Plus, the teacup handle turn-arounds present a potential safety hazard when some drivers ignore the stop signs and no U-turn signs who don’t stop and make illegal U-turns.
If these turn-arounds were patrolled by law enforcement, a lot of revenue would be made for the state, along with speeding violations.
The corridor is an inconvenience to the residents living along the corridor and the commuters who use it.
