"What kind of a moron would design an intersection like this," yells one midday driver.

"I think it's a pain in the ---," says another.
Evidence of accidents litter the curbside at 24th Street and Shell Point Road. A headlight, a turn signal, a license plate holder and other pieces of crashes left behind, but finally solutions will be coming along. County work crews are turning the two-way stop into a four way stop.
For the drivers who pass through the area, the sound of men at work will be music to their ears.
But the four-way stop only came about after ABC Action News started asking questions about why the busy new intersection was created as a two-way stop to begin with.

Drivers say they won't stop "greasing the wheel" until there's a traffic light here.
But the Hillsborough County Public Works Department tells us there are no plans to put a traffic light at Shell point and 24th because current traffic volume does not meet the state requirement.
