[Vision2020] Huh?

[Tom Hansen]

I agree.

Perhaps the right-turn traffic light should be replaced with a stop sign, forcing drivers to stop and ensure sufficient clearance before proceeding with a right turn.

Seeya round town, Moscow.

Two vehicles, a small white car and a black truck, appeared to have had a rather nasty collision. it seemed where the right turn lane from Hwy. 8 to head north on Washington meets Washington.  This turn lane has seemed to me to be an accident waiting to happen, given the assumed turn right on red if clear option colliding with the no turn on red ever instruction for this right turn lane.  Tow trucks were at work, police directing traffic, emergency vehicles, and gawkers gawking... I did not observe if anyone was injured.
