After reading the article May 25 regarding accidents on U.S. Highway 30 (“Accidents on U.S. Highway 30 more prevalent near eastern Astoria” The Daily Astorian), I still do not understand why a flashing caution light is not at the curve below the Crest Motel.

I live in Alderbrook, and think the turn there is very dangerous, and traffic moves fast at this location. Just last week a deer dashed in front of my car at the 45 mph area, and a pickup truck behind me was going fast when I put on my brakes. The deer then dashed across the road in front of the truck, and fortunately was missed and a serious accident was avoided. 

Will it take another fatality to make this a safer place?
