ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — An Avalon Park mother wants officials to make it safer at an Orange County intersection after her son was involved in a crash last year.

Laurin Price says it’s difficult and dangerous to turn off of Crown Hill Boulevard and on to Avalon Park Boulevard.

She says drivers looking to turn left on to northbound Avalon Park Boulevard have to guess because there is no left-turn arrow on the traffic signal.

“As soon as the lights turn, it’s kind of a guessing game as to who’s going through traffic and who’s going to take a right there,” Price says.

It’s difficult to know what drivers in the opposite direction, on Timber Spring Boulevard, are going to do if they don’t have their blinkers on.

An easy fix, she says, would be to add a left-turn signal to the traffic light.

Orange County Public Works is looking into the issue. An earlier traffic study based on the amount of crashes determined that a left-turn signal wasn’t needed.

“When my son had his accident, it was devastating,” Price says.

Her son’s accident after the Thanksgiving holiday break last year totaled his car.

Although he is OK, she doesn’t want that to happen to other families.

“I really think that there needs to be attention drawn to the situation because we’re talking about our kids, our family, our lives,” Price says.
