Area hopes new traffic lights will cutdown number of crashes
Via MattarMedia Town of Onondaga – Drivers who use a busy intersection in the town of Onondaga will need to allow a few extra minutes to get where they need to go. Two new traffic signals were turned on Wednesday.
After finding a high number of accidents at the intersection of Bellevue Avenue and Onondaga Boulevard, engineers recommended a traffic light.
The new signals, located just a short distance from Westhill High School, were scheduled to be turned on at 10am.
The intersection, which had previously only had stop signs controlling traffic, was changed approximately two weeks ago to a flashing red and yellow signal, was switched into a full traffic signal Wednesday.
An Onondaga County traffic study found there were seven accidents at the intersection over the past three years which was enough to satisfy the requirements to install a three color signal to provide greater safety benefits.
Engineers say the change will take drivers some time to get used to, and say it’s a good time since school is not in session.
There are boards around the area letting drivers know about the change.

Tougher state DWI laws take effect Friday
Via MattarMedia ALBANY — Tougher laws on drunken drivers who have a child in the car take effect Friday.
The new law, known as Leandra's Law, makes it a felony to drive with a blood-alcohol level greater than 0.08 and have a passenger in the car younger than 16. A first offense carries a potential prison sentence of up to four years; up to 15 years if a child passenger is seriously injured; and up to 25 years if a child is killed.
The law was adopted by the state Legislature and signed by Gov. David Paterson last month after Leandra Rosado, 11, died in a drunken-driving accident in October in New York City.
The law also requires drivers charged with drunken driving with a child in the car to surrender their licenses pending prosecution. And if convicted, an ignition-interlock system must be installed in the car for at least six months. On Aug. 15, the law will expand to require the system for any driver convicted of misdemeanor or felony DWI.
The interlock system costs about $100 to install and $3 a day to operate. The offender will be required to pay for it.
In 2008, there were 9,202 alcohol-related crashes in New York, according to the state Department of Motor Vehicles. In those crashes, 488 children under the age of 18 were injured or killed.

Drivers should prepare for conditions
Via MattarMedia BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - With tricky driving conditions it's important for people to be prepared before hitting the road.
In this case we're not talking about the things you should have in your car. Instead, we've spoken to the experts about the things drivers should and should not do on the road.
In just three days the New York State Thruway in parts of western New York was the scene of several disasters. A winter storm on Thursday and Friday brought traffic to a standstill.
We all know drivers can't control the weather, but a spokesperson for the New York State Thruway Authority says people can control the way they drive.
"You have to be very careful of the distance. You know drive safely, but allow more distance between your vehicle and others," said spokesperson Donna Luh.
Had one driver done that on Saturday, there's a good chance a State Police Trooper would not have been rear ended in the eastbound lane between the Batavia and Pembroke Exits.
"She was rear ended by a vehicle that did not stop in time," said Sgt. Gregory Peron.
Keeping enough distance between cars is even more important when it rains and snows.
Luh explained, "The speed limits are posted for ideal driving conditions, but people have to remember during these weather conditions it's necessary to slow down."
The cause of this fatal crash in the Town of Pembroke remains under investigation, but 33-year-old Julie Stratton survived hitting a deer only to get hit by a tractor trailer minutes later.
Her vehicle became disabled in the westbound lane but State Police tell us other vehicles were able to avoid her before the truck driver slammed into her.
"If we have to speak louder and get our message out more we will do that," said Luh.
Experts say crashes are still bound to happen.
"We have a lot of car/deer accidents and we have a lot of minor fender bender accidents. When it's possible and if you're able to, safely move your vehicle off the road," said Sgt. Peron.
What if you can't move your vehicle? Should you stay in it?
State Police say it depends.
Sgt. Peron said, "Where they are, what the visibility is, what the weather's like."

Investigation complete in train versus plow accident
Via MattarMedia GANSEVOORT, N.Y. - Members of the Gansevoort Highway Department said Jim Shea was a dedicated and hard working man who also helped out the fire department. They said he spent so much time helping others that many will feel his loss.
"It's hard," said Gansevoort Highway Superintendent Neil Petteys, who worked with Jim Shea for the last ten years.
He choked back tears while thinking about Shea who died in a collision between the plow truck he was in and a freight train Wednesday morning.
Petteys said, "The equipment can be replaced, but the personnel..."
Police said the snow plow crossed the tracks on Saunders Road to clear snow but got stuck and lost traction. They said the driver tried to go up an incline but slid down into the oncoming train.
"It's an unfortunate accident. If it was a guarded crossing, could it have been prevented? Absolutely," said Lt. Bill Seibert of the Saratoga County Sheriff's Department.
Police also said the side wings of the plow were up which could have limited their vision.
Meanwhile, Petteys said he knows the police investigation is finished but just can't accept what happened.
"They are going to do their job, that's what they are there for and I've got to continue with the help of my men, to do our jobs," he said.
No one from the police department or the railroad company knew who would be responsible for putting a crossing at the intersection. It's actually a dead end with just two houses on the other side.
A spokesman for Canadian Pacific Railroad said they have no plans to install a signal but are always open to talking about safety.
The spokesman for the railroad company said there's no given rule when it comes to putting a signal at the private crossing like that. He said one formula they use is multiply the number of cars that cross the tracks by the number of trains that travel it, to figure out if it's eligible for a crossing.

Suit: Taconic wrong-way crash victims suffered terror, pain
Via MattarMedia WHITE PLAINS - Relatives of two victims of the wrong-way crash that killed eight people on a New York highway are claiming their loved ones suffered terror and pain before they died.
A lawsuit to be filed Thursday targets the estate of Diane Schuler, who was driving the minivan that slammed into an SUV carrying Michael and Guy Bastardi on July 26.
Schuler, her daughter, three nieces and another man in the Bastardis' vehicle also were killed.
The lawsuit echoes the findings of a criminal investigation that concluded Schuler was drunk, high on marijuana, and driving the wrong way on the Taconic Parkway.

Cops: 4 kids hurt in crash at Ind. day care center
Via MattarMedia INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A sport utility vehicle fleeing police officers crashed into a day care center Thursday, injuring four children and an employee, police said.
About 18 children were inside the Stepping Stones Child Care when the SUV slammed into the brick building on the city's north side around 12:15 p.m., Lt. Jeff Duhamell said.
Kara Hardister, who runs the day care, said the crash sent bricks flying into a room for 3-year-olds just before their nap time.
One of the four children was in critical but stable condition at Methodist Hospital, while the other three had non-life-threatening injuries, Duhamell said. A woman working at the day care center suffered a broken leg when she was struck by bricks, and another person was injured when the SUV hit a car during the police chase. Duhamell said those injuries weren't serious.
He said police apprehended two people in the SUV, one of whom required stitches to a hand.
Officers were chasing the SUV following an armed robbery at a nearby Family Dollar store when the crash occurred, Duhamell said.
Tenants in a nearby building said the crash sounded like gunfire. The SUV remained lodged in the side of the day care more than an hour later.
Whittney Rutland said she raced to the day care center to check on her 3-year-old son, Armohni Preswood, after hearing about the crash. She ran through the police tape and found out that her son was safe and had been taken to another day care nearby.
"I ran through there and stuff was dropping out of my purse," she said. "I was so scared."
Hardister said 40 to 45 children are typically in the building midday, but about two dozen were on a field trip at the time of the crash.
"It's just senseless, just senseless, that innocent people have to go through this," she said.
