PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — Making a turn onto a busy road without a traffic light can be a bit stressful.
But one area in particular is concerning drivers in New Port Richey.
Debi Hassan has lived near Embassy Boulevard and Little Road for the past 12 years, a very busy intersection.
“This is a never-ending, constant day-to-day struggle,” Hassan said.
That struggle is waiting for a break in traffic in both directions of Embassy, especially when exiting her neighborhood from Morehead Lane, which is just past Little Road.
“You can’t go anywhere because of all of this coming through here,” Hassan said.
Hassan says the issue has gotten worse in recent years due to traffic from the schools in the area.
That’s especially a problem during the morning and afternoon rush as drivers try to get to and from Little Road, a major Pasco County route.
“The traffic coming in bringing kids to school as well as picking up from school, it’s crazy. You have to pack and choose your times you go somewhere,” Hassan said.
She’s hoping Pasco County will consider adding a three-way stop or traffic light at Embassy and Morehead in hopes it can help keep drivers safe.
“It’s dangerous, really dangerous. And again, something can be done. Just a matter of who can make it work and make it happen. I’m hoping this helps,” Hassan said.
Pasco County officials say there are no planned changes at the intersection for now, however, drivers with concerns should use their traffic request form.
