Traffic Signal for Unsafe Co. Rd. 81 and Territorial Road in Dayton

The Hennepin County Road 81 and Territorial Road intersection in Dayton, Minnesota is a very busy, unsafe, poorly-lit intersection controlled only by a stop sign on Territorial Road. With the boom of new residential developments in Dayton, Maple Grove and Rogers, this intersection’s traffic levels warrant a traffic control signal with appropriate road striping as soon as possible.

This signal will permit Territorial Road traffic to safely turn left and right as well as south-bound County Road 81 traffic to turn onto Territorial Road without fear of rear-end accidents from speeding, distracted motorists. Because of high traffic levels, drivers are wisely avoiding the intersection at peak traffic level times, including the school bus drivers. This is causing increased road wear and speeding on Territorial Road into Maple Grove as well other northbound roads in Dayton.

Please sign this petition intended for Hennepin County authorities so they can install a traffic signal which is believed to be a crash-prevention measure.
