The intersection of State Roads 129 and 250 at Pleasant has long been a source of fear for local motorists, as drivers regularly run the four-way stop signs there.
The intersection had a fatal car accident in December of 2019 — and that’s when Switzerland County Sheriff Brian Morton decided that something needed to be done.
“We have always, for the past several years, gotten complaints from people blowing through that intersection,” Sheriff Morton said. “The deputies would go out and sit there as often as they could, and they wrote a lot of tickets out there over the past few years with people disregarding it. But it’s a big county and we have limited officers and we can’t be out there as often as we’d like. That’s when I reached out to the INDOT liaison at the Governor’s office. I’ve really been working in this for about two years to try and get them to put some sort of light out there.”
