Rural intersections blamed as corn height rises risks
Four people died last week at uncontrolled rural intersections in Bremer and Mahaska counties as tall corn blocks visibility. Officials say many crossings lack signs and drivers must treat all such intersections as yield with slow, cautious speeds. Iowa DOT notes hundreds of past crashes linked to crop and tree visibility since 2004. Local engineers cite vast numbers of intersections and limited feasibility of adding signs.
