A Broakley reader notified me today that an accident occurred around 6:00 Pm 1/31/09. Vehicles were stopped and waiting for rescue personnel to arrive.
The Hwy 4 project http://sr4bypass.org/ which to some people has eliminated precious time off their commute has also created safety hazards.
Dale Dennis, project manager for the Route 4 Bypass Authority back in 2007 warned of the headaches that were going to be caused due to Hwy 4 narrowing from 3 lanes just past the Hillcrest exit to two at Laurel Road, and then from two to a single lane at Lone Tree Way as noted by KCBS.
The Yellow safety cones being used between Lone Tree and Sand Creek don't stop drunk drivers, impatient drivers, or drivers who are falling asleep from their long commutes through Vasco in one direction and Hwy 4 from the other direction.
A temporary concrete median is needed and the completion of this project needs to begin.
Better freeways=Higher Home Values=More Tax dollars=Continued Construction and Maintenance

See my comments on your post on your trip to SF. We need better corridors here in East County.
The intersection of Sandcreek is very dangerous in both directions when traffic backs up. Some of the left or right turn traffic backs up into the highway lanes. Lots of rear enders there
