Hey there, time traveller!

With all the attention focused on the junction of Highway 5 and the Trans-Canada, I keep wondering about the junction of highways 18 and 23 south of Ninette and north of Killarney. It is the only Manitoba highway intersection I am aware of that does not have streetlights at the intersection.

Now with the change of the intersection and the removal of the merging curve, I wonder how long until we have a serious accident. I have already noted vehicle tracks in the dirt where the merging curve used to be. If someone is not familiar with this intersection, a bad accident could happen in the dark.
