I have driven the W road for over 50 years. It has now become a very dangerous road. Too many vehicles for such a small space. Near misses, trucks stuck and frequent road rage. It is time to make some changes to better serve motorist.
I would like to suggest that the top of the W Road become a one way street during drive time in the mornings and afternoons: 6:30-8:30 a.m. coming down, 4-6 p.m. going up. It can easily be done as only the top section would be one way.
The yellow gates are already there. There are no private homes between the gates so no one's home would be affected. Perhaps a traffic signal could be installed to better manage the lane change.
These types of lane closures have been utilized in other parts of Chattanooga. It can work.
