This Y-shaped intersection at the top of a hill up in Bordeaux was dangerous before construction on Clarksville Pike started. Anyone making a left turn from any direction was turning with no clear view of oncoming traffic. You just went on faith, and your faith was not always rewarded. Once construction started, things only got worse and more dangerous. Then the city put in a traffic light, and lo and behold, people could safely turn left. And traffic began to move — and let me reiterate — through the construction zone, more smoothly than it ever had previously. Now that construction is finished and the intersection has this light and clearly marked crosswalks, it’s so functional that it’s hard to even remember just what a dangerous, traffic-clogging mess it was before. This light is a miracle.Â
