There are 3 stop lights within 100 yards on Smith Valley Rd. between Meridian and U.S.31, I’ve seen as many as 4 police cars with 2 policemen in each writting tickets for blocking the intersections at this location but none of them are willing to walk out into the intersection and help direct traffic to keep this bottleneck from occuring. By pulling cars over and writting tickets they even make the situation worse.
