The Worst Intersections in Sedalia (According to Sedalians)

Alright everyone, the other day I decided to ask you guys a question in the "Purple Box"  on our social media page.  I figured it was time for a little grousin'.  What's grousin'?  It's grumbling and petty complaints, pretty much.  So what I was hoping was that we'd do a little complaining to get it out of our system.  And it worked!

I asked you, "What's an intersection you avoid in Sedalia?"

And well, people answered.  Let's see if you agree with their choices.

Green Ridge Road and South Lamine/65 Highway

This one was the most highly voted.  Michelle included an exact point.

Michelle F: Coming out of Southwest Village from 32nd onto Green Ridge Road, going onto 65 intersection. Traffic has really picked up and it really bottlenecks several times per day.

Jackie D: I drive a bus and use it twice a day. I'm so grateful 90% of the time someone lets me out ❤️. But, being a big bus it's still difficult to make sure no one is coming from like 4 different ways and I have enough room for the bus once I make the turn... I voted for someone in November that was ALL for getting this intersection fixed.
I need to find out who it was and see what's up

Wendi B - 65 and 32nd

Jennifer P - 65 and 32nd

South Grand and West Broadway Boulevard.

This one I know well. I've seen a lot of accidents here, although I've never noticed the light being excessively slow.

Doug S -Grand and Broadway. It has the longest wait for a light ever!

Kevin Z - Grand and 50 especially at night. The lights on grand take 84 years to finally change to green

West Main Street and South Ohio Street.

This one I think people kind of forget about.  But it is a problem, because so many of us decide to go toolin around this area like we're ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY, and that's just not the case.

Brent H - Can't believe West 50 and main street not mentioned.

West Main and South  Park.

MJ H - Main and Park. If any of the intersections needs a 4way it’s that one. Lived there 25 years and seen many many wrecks and when work gets off its hell.

Winchester and West Broadway Boulevard.

I was surprised this one didn't get more votes.  I think most of us avoid it already, ha!

Ryan M- Winchester and Broadway. People forget how stoplights and turning lanes work.
Mike L - Walmart and Winchester

East Broadway and South Massachusetts Avenue.

This one is an old favorite.  We love to hate this one.

Morgan M- Massachusetts and 50. If you turn left on Massachusetts while on 50, I hate you. Edit: come to think of it, Massachusetts and Ingram off 50, that whole area needs work

Artistic Isle - Lamine and 50 at all costs!! Especially if I’m turning right!!! That light seems to never change.

10th and Thompson Boulevard.

This is yet another one I was surprised we didn't hear more about.  I know I've avoided turning left here many, many a time.

Amy W - Thompson and the 10th going left

And of course, there were a few other honorable mentions.

Heather R - Any left turn onto Broadway or Limit. As a former FedEx driver, I hated turning left onto those two roads!

Kathy D  - Not in Sedalia bit 65 and TT

And of course, not just in Sedalia!

Erin P - All of them. I try not to leave Green Ridge as much as possible.

What do you think? What are your "avoid at all cost" intersections in Sedalia?

Rightily yours,
