Compare and contrast: Safety

With the influx of a large number of cars all at the same time, especially for regional soccer tournaments, traffic safety should be a major concern for anyone developing a large soccer complex.

Highland Lake Golf Club has just one entrance/exit area, and this is what it looks like as you leave the club--limited visibility and traffic coming over the small hill created by the railroad tracks:

If additional entrances/exits are added, they will pour traffic onto this narrow and winding two-lane road:

The ArvinMeritor site in Fletcher is on Highway 25, which has four lanes across with a fifth turning lane in the middle, straight with good visibility:

It also already has a traffic light at one corner:

Once again, it's obvious which site would be better to develop for soccer. The ArvinMeritor location is safer not only to travel to and from, but also to enter and exit.
