Plural agreement

A road saftey advertisement in my town is using the statement "Intersections. It's your call".

"It's your call" being a commonally used phrase to mean "It's your decision". The implication being that you need to make good decisions at intersections.

My friends and I are debating whether "Intersections. It's your call" is a correct singular/plural agreement.

Would "Intersections. They're your call" be more correct?

Thanks

Hi, I take 'it' to refer not to intersections but to the unstated but implied 'What you do at intersections'. ie What is really meant is this. Intersections.
