Cords on the Leoti's Main Street and Broadway

For people who live in Leoti, I am sure that you are already aware of these lying on top of the streets. They've been there for a few days now. Though I do not know for sure about this, I am hoping that they have been placed there to see just how much traffic travels through our main blinking stop light every day. As far as I am concerned, I would love to see that the state decides that it is time to upgrade us from the blinking system to an out and out STOPLIGHT.

When the state determined several years ago, that there was no longer sufficient traffic at that point in town to warrant the normal everyday stoplight, I, like others, were glad that we would no longer have to sit in line for a minute or so to get to the other side. LOL! Since then, I don't know how many times I have come close to being in an accident there because people either breeze right through without even pausing or others who did not know when they have the right-of-way to proceed into the intersection. People who are walking through the intersection are oftimes very nervous about crossing the street there for fear that they may be struck by a vehicle.

Since we were downgraded, Seaboard Foods has come to Leoti. With their mill, came many trucks that go through that intersection on a daily basis. That extra traffic alone tells me that the blinker system should be a safer way to go. But, of course, Kansas State has not contacted me about my opinion on the matter. LOL!

If any of you out there know if this is the actual purpose for these cords, could you please post your comments here? If I learn anything else, I will update my blog on the matter.
