In Millersville, overgrown grass is causing problems at intersections. The grass is blocking stop signs and creating blind spots, making it difficult for drivers to navigate the area. A resident has reported that the issue is worse than it has ever been.
The intersection of McMurtry Road and Shell Road is one of the affected areas, where grass has grown over the white line. The overgrowth is not just a visual issue, but also a hazard, as one resident's truck made contact with the shrubbery while trying to photograph the problem.
