Descrição
no stop signs on Dinwiddie Street going around circle, it is an accident waiting to happen because cars already on the circle get ambushed by cars who don't have to stop coming from either side of Dinwiddie Street. I feel there should be a stop sign on Dinwiddie as well.

Installed in the early 1990s, the S. Dinwiddie Street and S. Chesterfield Road traffic circle was approved by the County Board as part of the 1991 Claremont Traffic Management Plan and funded by the Neighborhood Conservation program. Prior to the installation of the circle, there were frequent crashes at the intersection due to the significant traffic volume on both S. Dinwiddie Street and Chesterfield Road.
Since the traffic circle was put in place, the number and severity of the crashes has decreased. For a five-year period from Dec. 2005 to Dec. 2010 (the most current crash data available) there were five reported accidents crashes at, or near, the intersection – a good safety record. Staff will investigate the more recent incidents and determine if any additional measures are needed.
If you have additional questions or concerns please contact the Department of Environmental Services, Arlington County at descommunications@arlingtonva.us.
