A light doesn't make sense. Block off or get rid of that west segment of Pottery that's essentially just a shortcut from 6 to Kal. Then you'd have room for a protected T turning left onto 6 if needed from the east side, or block left turns onto 6 entirely.

100%!

It's a busy 4 lane highway! Block cross traffic! It takes an extra 2 seconds to use the signal light at Kal Lake Rd

A light there is a very bad idea. Traffic coming in from the country is often speeding. There will be more accidents.

Yes. You two are genius. No left turns. There are easier, other ways to enter / exit.

Absolutely! It's totally bad idea. As is the idea of putting one at Waddington (also bad accidents from trucks turning left onto highway 6 there....

ALSO if they add more lights, MORE traffic will take 15th past two schools to avoid the lights (i know I would, I do already about 5% of the time), and that's not good.
