Caution sign and flashing lights signal
I am requesting that a caution sign (warning travels of the upcoming intersection) along with flashing lights be placed just before mile marker 40 on US Highway 40 in Wasatch County, Utah. There is a three-directional intersection at this spot. Travelers need to be aware and take additional precautions and slow down when approaching this intersection. Several accidents have occurred in this area and I can attest to at least 1 death at this intersection.
Why is this important?
In Wasatch County, Utah on US Highway 40 at mile marker 40 there is a 3-directional intersection. There have been several accidents here but none more devastating to myself then the horrific car accident that took place on Saturday, July 13th, 2019, which claimed the life of my son. Just before this point, there is a slight Bend in the road as well as a slight incline. For the sake and safety of others, I am petitioning that a caution sign stating intersection ahead please slow down along with some flashing lights be implemented in an attempt to help acknowledge as well as make the countless Travelers aware of the upcoming intersection. Maybe have these already been in place my son would still be here with me today. So in honor of my son, I am respectfully petitioning that these simple warning indicators be secured and utilized.
