[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Since 2017, there have been 11 crashes — not including the fatal crash last week — at the intersection of Blake Lane and Five Oaks Road, according to Fairfax County Police Department. Four of the crashes resulted in injuries.“ https://www.ffxnow.com/2022/06/14/traffic-safety-along-blake-lane-in-oakton-has-been-a-community-concern/ [/quote] Well...if you actually read the article and LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM where each accident occurred, only ONE of those accidents was in the intersection (Blak and Five Oaks). The rest of the accidents were either before or after the intersection in either the northbound or southbound lanes. That would be a rear-ending type of accident, a lane-change accident, or possible a pedestrian/car accident in the road or crosswalk. You have to read/analyze more thoroughly than just repeating a headline. Your big message that the intersection has a design flaw or is dangerous is not supported by the facts nor the diagram. The most that can be said about the 11 accidents over 5 years is that the happened ON Blake Ln in the vicinity of Five Oaks. Rear-endings at a multi-lane stop sign do not mean that the intersection is dangerous for turning traffic.[/quote]
