Mall Accidents Notwithstanding, Highway Engineer Says Ratio Not That Abnormal
Mercer Mall intersection on Route 460 West Virginia shows 19 accidents last year and seven at the nearby 19 460 junction. State Traffic Engineer Ken Kobetski says the accident rate is not abnormal for the traffic volume. He cites left turns and rear ends as common causes and notes no immediate plans for extra caution measures. Modern traffic lights with high speed detection cost $50,000 to $60,000 and use a mini computer to monitor traffic flow from all directions.
