Leadership and Change

I don't think I really understand what such a project might look like so the following suggestion is a stab in the dark. I live very close to the most deadly intersection in Dakota County. There are a lot of accidents and even more near misses. Drivers run red lights all the time. When I spoke to the police about it they stated that they really cannot do much about it, except patrol the area and write tickets. I think that is a start, but not enough. I would like to propose a project that raises the awareness about this intersection. In collaboration with the local police and businesses we could develop a flyer that would be posted and made available at local businesses. My theory is that if more people know about what happens at this intersection and how dangerous it is, they will change their driving habits and show more caution. I know that not all drivers who go through this intersection shop at local businesses, but even if a few take notice, it will set an example for others and force them to drive more defensively.
