Grand Terrace RD Still A Problem CAUTION

From the Email InBox:

The north end of GT road is sort of hazardous. Came around corner, no signs, but is one lane traffic. Ran over a few low-coes to dodge on-coming traffic. No signs nor flagmen.

I think the City is ignoring the State issued booklet at regarding safety.

Ther book was called W.A.T.C.H. booket available via Los Angeles. Stood for something like Work Area Traffic Control Handbook. Can only remember that portion of the booklet title, as Sacto recommended that every city and county adopt such, instead of the whole Caltrans design manual, or it would becme a state law.

That was years ago. Because of Poor Safety Practices I had to dodge the grasspickers near to the school on Barton recently. I know that the City of Loma Linda has one booklet fixed to each auto before it leaves their shop area. They call in the Sherriff's department for a ticket, no warnings, if people drive without proper caution.

We haven't had an accident YET!! should not be the justification for lax safety practices.


GRAMPS ADDS:

WHEN DRIVING ON GRAND TERRACE ROAD BETWEEN VIVIENDA AND NEWPORT USE EXTRA CAUTION.
