1/13/2013

Many volunteers are preparing for Movie Night and a Food Truck Rally to support the All Angels Academy Building Fund. Everyone is welcome, and there is no admission for the movie if you want to bring your own snack. All Angels Church will sell popcorn, sodas, and other snacks as well. We hope to see you there.

Dear sirs:
For almost two years I had been sending an E-mail to most of the Florida and Miami Dade offices trying to give an revolutionary idea with respect the traffic lights on majors avenues and street of cities big and small:
My idea is to freeze in RED the traffic lights at intersections for a period of time of five SECONDS, doing this we give a window of five seconds, so in any case IF only one driver crosses the red light, preventing what I see every day here in Miami A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, BY THE WAY, IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE , by this way we prevent about 95% of the tragic accidents at the intersections, with this five second in red no TWO (2) vehicle will be taking the red light at the intersection AT THE SAME TIME, at least one but not two, avoiding a tragic accident.

Also I had been advising to the synchronizing of the traffic lights, also at the major streets and avenues, this action will save lots of money to the people and alleviating the traffic flow, this is a win, win situation for all and a saving of fuel to the public and of course Money too.

This is an article by US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Red-Light Running at intersections

Red-light running is a serious intersection safety issue across the nation. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Traffic Safety Facts 2008 Report, there were more than 2.3 million reported intersection-related crashes, resulting in more than 7,770 fatalities and approximately 733,000 injury crashes in 2008.

Intersection Safety

In 2009, there were 33,808 fatalities on our Nation’s roadways. Of these, 7,043 (20.8% of total fatalities) were intersection or intersection related.
An intersection is a planned point of conflict in the roadway system. With different crossing and entering movements by both drivers and pedestrians, an intersection is one of the most complex traffic situations that motorists encounter. Dangers are compounded when we add the element of speeding motorists who disregard traffic controls. Despite improved intersection design and more sophisticated applications of traffic engineering measures, the annual toll of human loss due to motor vehicle crashes has not substantially changed in more than 25 years.
Intersection safety is a national, state and local priority. Intersections represent a disproportionate share of the safety problem. As a result, organizations such as the FHWA, NHTSA, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the American Automobile Association (AAA), and other private and public organizations are devoting resources to help reducing intersection accident.
