Local politicians call for safety improvements at deadly intersection
Premier Scott Moe has said the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure will do a full investigation to see if changes are needed at the intersection where Friday’s deadly bus crash occurred. Local politicians and people who live in the area also have some suggestions of their own.
On Monday, the Rural Municipality of Connaught council met and passed a resolution for rumble strips to be added.
“I think rumble strips would be as good as start as any, like it kind of draws your attention as soon as you hit them,” Reeve Art Lalonde told paNOW, adding he would even like to go one step further and add an overhead light to give drivers more warning about the impending junction.
When asked how he and council was feeling about the crash, Lalonde said he was still in shock, and needed to know more information.
