Drivers on the far West Side of Bexar County say the intersection of Tamaron Pass and Talley Road should be called “death’s crossing” because of the blind spot drivers face while turning onto Talley Road.
“You got to pull out and pray,” Jonathan Aguillard said. “The construction, they moved it this way so you’re on a bend radius and then you got traffic coming from this direction. The visibility is like less than 40 to 50 feet. It’s pretty bad.”
Bexar County is working to widen Talley Rd to accommodate the growing population on the far West Side. In turn, drivers say construction has pushed traffic on Talley Road closer to Tamaron Pass.
“It’s a pain in the a--,” one woman said. “It’s blind curve. You have to literally come out in the middle of the street just to make your left turn.”
Some people kindly stop their vehicle to allow drivers making a left turn to do it safely when there’s an opening. However, the flow of traffic cannot solely rely on people being neighborly.
“When they’re done with the construction, they’re going to put a traffic light here,” Aguillard said. “But until that, I mean, you can see the visibility is so limited.”
“Sometimes when you think you’re safe there’s a car that comes flying by here,” one man said.
“It’s death’s crossing,” another person on the road said.
KSAT reached out to Bexar County about the construction on Talley Road and plans to help the flow of traffic. The county’s Public Works Department said they plan to have an answer by Oct. 5. We’ll check back on what’s going to be done to fix it.
