Highway 10
Minnesota (WDAY TV) -- We have all been there. Driving on Highway 10 in Minnesota, as someone comes off a rural county road and shoots across traffic. Now, MN-DOT is selecting sites around the state for a project called: "Reduced Conflict Intersections."
Minnesota (WDAY TV) -- We have all been there. Driving on Highway 10 in Minnesota, as someone comes off a rural county road and shoots across traffic. Now, MN-DOT is selecting sites around the state for a project called: "Reduced Conflict Intersections."
MN DOT even has video to back up its argument for changes at crossings like this. A four lane highway like 10 with a median in the middle. The risk for crashes goes up, as vehicles shoot across two lanes and the median in order to head back another direction.
Jody Martinson/Detroit Lakes: "Traffic coming from both sides, at your very fast traffic on highway ten."
Let's say you are this pickup truck that wants to cross ten from 31 wanting to head west on 10 to Fargo-Moorhead. Under the old plan you would simply cross the median but not under the new.
Under the Reduced Conflict Intersections, the median crossing would be closed off.
Martinson: "You would need to take a right turn here go down make a u turn and come back. And get into the right turn lane and cross. More work for the driver but safer."
State Troopers who see their share of T-bone accidents on four lanes like highway ten, say changes like these can save lives.
Jesse Grabow/Minnesota State Patrol: "Where traffic crosses, most often the t-bone crash, through education, dot, engineers whatever we can to so beneficial a lot of these crashed are preventable."

MN-DOT selects sites to take part in "Reduced Conflict Intersections"
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. A bill that would add new regulations to Internet dating services doing business in Illinois now one floor vote from passage but is hitting some opposition from Republicans who say theyre concerned about government overreach.
The bill (SB2545) would create the Internet Dating Safety Act, requiring that Internet dating services either conduct criminal background checks on all their members, or post online warnings specifying that they dont conduct such screenings. It has already passed the House, and today passed the Senate Judiciary Committee 6-3.
Proponents say the measure is needed to combat online predators, who can create Internet personas that mask previous convictions for sex crimes. Most states today make such convictions easily searchable through online sex-offender registries.
Illinois lawmakers have tried and failed for years to pass similar legislation. Don't you have an expectation when you pay $30 to find true love that it won't turn out to be a sex offender? Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion, asked during one such debate, in 2007, before an earlier version of the idea failed.
Opponents have questioned whether Illinois can effectively police Internet services that arent based in the state, and whether the services themselves might create a false sense of security by saying they do background checks, when there is no way to know how extensive those checks are.
Another, more ideological argument has been put in play by some Republican opponents to the measure.
Its another intervention by the government thinking for us, said Sen. Matt Murphy, R-Palatine, who voted against the measure in committee today. Adults have the ability to make these decisions for themselves.
The full Senate could take up the bill as early as Tuesday.
