The bridge was temporarily closed for operations. There may be further delays. Scene is with police.

St. John's Fire District is there anything to be done to improve safety at this intersection? We live in Headquarters and watch people run this red light daily. It is so scary! Also people can not see the light changing yellow to red when the sun glare is occurring. Residents have asked for help and pedestrian islands were installed but it seems flashing roadway signs alerting drivers of the light change (like the ones on the crosstown) would be most beneficial.

It's way too late to be playing bumper cars on the highway especially at this intersection, there's been more people killed and injured near this spot than I care to recall
