STOP SIGN PETITION
I am requesting that a stop sign be placed ON Kearney Blvd, both East & West at the intersections of Cornelia Ave, Madison Ave, & Kearney Blvd in Fresno, CA. I believe I can obtain 100 signatures from locals in the town of Kerman.
This intersection is notoriously known for accidents and nothing has ever been done about it. Many people have wrecked at this specific intersection due to its confusing lane merging. My personal experience was because the other party failed to read the "Cross traffic has no stop" sign.
That simple mistake cost the life of my grandmother.
A defectively designed intersection can be grounds for forcing a city to place a stop sign.
A local resident suggests:
Kearney Blvd going east, curves to the right before continuing straight onto Madison. It gives the motorists stopped at the stop sign the impression that the vehicle is going to take the scenic route to the right. When the stopped drivers see this they take off from the stop sign only to realize the eastbound vehicle is going straight and not taking the scenic route. That portion of the road needs to be straightened out and the intersection needs to be cleared further back to increase visibility when southbound motorists are approaching the stop sign.
Please consider our request as a community and allow this petition to motivate the city of this urgent matter. Thank you.

Why is this important?
It is important to try and make our rural roads safer. I wish to bring justice for my grandmother. Help prevent any future tragedies.
