Will this make the intersection more dangerous?

Not necessarily.  While traffic signals can reduce certain types of accidents, they also experience rear-end collisions and red-light running incidents. When a signal isn’t warranted, these accidents occur without sufficient benefit.  Also, unwarranted signals can cause longer delays for side-street traffic, leading to driver frustration and signal disobedience. The 150-day analysis period will allow us to monitor whether removing the signal creates any safety concerns that need to be addressed. The accident history at this intersection does not meet a threshold to justify keeping the signal.
