WHY THEY MIGHT NOT PUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN?

I think I have figured out part of the traffic light (Spanish Oaks Club Blvd) problem.

Coming down the hill from H-E-B, if the light had turned red and a line up had begun on 71 Eastbound, you could crest that hill at 60 MPH and slam into the rearmost car. And the 'valley' is too low for a high light on a pole.

Maybe a flashing yellow farther up 71 to warn when light is red would work, but I sure wouldn't want to be the rearmost car if that line was long!

Just some thoughts for you to chew...

The location of our east entrance is manifesting itself into a bit of a "hairball" given the various environmental and topographic challenges.

It sure seems like we need to get this sorted prior to several hundred families moving in to the community?

...and traffic on 71 triples as projected in the years to come!
