Memo to:
City of Brevard
State Highway
Department
A dangerous traffic condition
exists at the intersection of
Broad and French Broad Streets.
There have been two serious
accidents at this intersection
i within the past 30 days. There
! have been others and there will
I be more.
One difficulty seems to be that
motorists coming over the rise at
the Methodist Church, another
dangerous location, are enjoying
the freedom of a four lane high
way and do not realize that they
are rapidly entering a business
district.
Motorists coming down “Jail
House Hill” may or may not ob
serve the signs which state they
are in a business district in
which the speed limit is 20 miles
per hour. Just beyond the in
tersection they read a much
larger sign which states that the
speed limit is 25 miles per hour.
A short distance beyond that sign
is another giving 25 miles per
hour as the speed limit.
I have been told that studies
of the traffic load do not justify
the installation of a traffic light
at this intersection. This is poor
reasoning.
The number of accidents, and
their frequency, should be the
criterion regardless of how many
cars pass through.
It is entirely possible that
someone will be killed in an ac
cident at this intersection and
part of the blame will be laid to
