Do not move the fountain for it has not caused any problems. Drunk drivers have caused the problems. I would suggest making the intersection a roundabout with rumble strips in the roadway prior to the intersection. The tactile vibrations caused by rumble strips would garner the attention of unsuspecting, sleepy, distracted and intoxicated drivers approaching the historic landmark and slow them down through the intersection. Additional sinage would be a, financial, waste. If a driver rruns into the fountain because they did not see it, I doubt they are going to pay attention to, yet, another sign.
Logical fix
