Description

The westbound 98 intersection at Ligon Mill Road was constructed as a controlled intersection. Currently there are two traffic signals at this location, both controlling the left turn lanes to go south on Ligon Mill Road. The two traffic signals that were to control the two westbound lanes at this intersection have been removed presumably until the construction on the north side is completed. This leaves the two westbound lanes with the appearance of being in a controlled intersection, but currently there is no control since the traffic signals have been temporarily removed. Numerous times every day vehicles stop in one or both of the right hand lanes when the left turn traffic signals are red. While in the Wegman’s parking lot today I witnessed a car screeching to a stop to prevent hitting a car that was stopped in front of them while mistakenly stopping for the left turn light. I hope that WF does not wait until there is a terrible collision at this intersection to realize that the two traffic signals that were removed need to be reinstalled immediately with a constant green arrow.
