Description

82nd Ave is a dangerous, blind left hand turn for northbound traffic on West Mercer Way. Exercising significant caution and pulling as far forward in the turn as possible does not improve sightline and residents have had a number of near misses. Southbound traffic has better sight lines & may assume turning traffic can see them when they can not. Additionally, southbound traffic often accelerate there in anticipation of the straight stretch of road south of 82nd Ave SE. I'm requesting a safety assessment of this intersection and it's immediate area to determine what might be done to mitigate risk (mirrors, signage, etc).
