Clarissa Go has lived in Belmont for  several months and says her children  drive through that intersection to get to  school.
"Every day when they  drive through that intersection, I really  worry about them," she  said.
"I always remind them to look around, you know,  left, right and back, and tell them  not to use their phones while  they're going through the  intersection."
She recalls a two-vehicle  accident that happened at the same  location last month
