A growing number of Benbrook residents are raising concerns about dangerous driving at the intersection of Winscott Road and Darnell or Timbercreek, pointing to frequent red light running and risky left turns into oncoming traffic.
Several locals say they have experienced close calls, especially when drivers assume they have the right of way without a protected green arrow.
Traffic safety reminders are timely as Winscott continues to see heavier use. Without a protected left turn signal, drivers must yield to oncoming traffic. Ignoring that rule puts everyone at risk, including those driving straight through a green light or turning legally.
Residents also note an increase in drivers pushing through fully red lights, not late yellows, which has made intersections feel unpredictable. Many agree the issue comes down to impatience and distraction, not knowing the signal patterns, and failing to yield when required.
As traffic increases across Benbrook, especially along Winscott and Highway 377, neighbors are encouraging one another to slow down, stay alert, and follow the signals as marked.
A few extra seconds of patience can prevent serious accidents and keep everyone getting home safely.
