Connecticut drivers call for yield signs at highway entrance ramps after fatal accident

Connecticut drivers entering roundabouts must yield to traffic, with yield signs posted at entrance lanes. However, the state does not have similar signs at highway entrance ramps, unlike New York and Massachusetts. A recent fatal accident on Route 8 highlights concerns about this lack of signage. Observers note that many drivers merge onto highways without waiting for safe gaps in traffic. The driver in the Route 8 incident was not charged with failure to yield. Advocates argue that Connecticut should adopt yield signs at highway entrances to improve safety and reduce merging accidents.
