I spend some time on Wednesday watching this intersection and this is what I saw. Observation Date: 2/29/12, Start time: 2:30, End time: 3:33
The following vehicles all made illegal U-turns after coming out of the shopping center between Taco Bell and the carwash. They made a right turn onto Purfoy Rd heading south, then made a U-turn at the intersection of Old Sexton Place.
Time: 3:08 - Silver Honda
Time: 3:12 - Silver Nissan Maxima
Time: 3:17 - Black Chevy Truck (he actually couldn't complete the U-turn in one maneuver. He had to do in by heading into Old Sexton, then backed up onto Purfoy and finished his turn. It was more like a 3-point turn.
Time: 3:31 - Silver BMW

There were two other vehicles during that time that chose to turn around in a safer manner. At 2:32 a white van came out the same driveway between Taco Bell and the carwash but then made a right into the carwash, made a left onto Market St (that's the TSC shopping center lot) and then made a safe left turn onto Purfoy Rd to head north. This maneuver avoiding making an illegal u-turn nor did she have to turn around in the Old Sexton neighborhood.
Another vehicle (Black Geo Trakker) did the same at 2:40 PM. Very smart!

Please, please enforce No U-turn at this corner before someone gets killed here. We shouldn't have to wait for that to happen as we have seen in other locations in Wake county. Contact the property owner and have them redesign the traffic pattern from their property so that traffic is directed to exit on the south side of the property by traveling behind the carwash to make a left or right turn onto Purfoy, or to exit onto Main Street at the light by Wendy's.

Saw a police officer sitting on Old Sexton this morning around 9:00 AM. Way to go! People have to be trained into compliance and believe me, word gets around! I hope it helps some. But I think the ultimate solution is to make the driveway between Taco Bell and the carwash ENTRANCE ONLY.

June 6, 2012 Observed this area for 40 minutes starting at 8:25. At 8:29 a white Impala made a U turn; at 8:41 a green Honda Accord made a U turn and then at 8:42 a burgundy Ford truck drove right over the median.

Notice the lines in the road where someone has made a U-Turn recently.

Here is the green Honda mentioned earlier.

Incredible as it seems, I had someone make a U-turn in front of me on the north end of the median. I was stopped between Taco Bell and Bojangles and the car in front of me made a U-turn around the median and then a right into Taco Bell. Unfortunately, he didn't make the turn wide enough and the cars coming through the light had to stop! Something needs to be done here!!!!

Today, July 15 2012 at approx. 5:30 my husband and I were on our way home and approaching this intersection. We were in the left "travel" lane and a black 1500 truck NC Tag# BAC 8560 with two flags waving off the bed, was proceeding very slowly in the right turn only lane. And yes, he was completely in the right turn only lane over the solid yellow, divergent, and crosshatched lines! Based on his speed and the number of illegal U-turns I've seen there I warned my husband to slow down and wait and see what this guy was going to do. (He had no signals on either). The truck stopped just before the entrance of TSC, my husband slowed, and the young kid in the truck started to wave us on. My husband put the window down and told him he couldn't make a U-turn there. He flipped us the bird and whipped it around right in front of us anyway! A companion truck with him, a tan GMC Yukon, followed him also making that turn wide from the TSC turning lane. His tag# YZX 2293. Watch out for these two out on the road. Apparently, they have learned that the rules don't apply to them. Until law enforcement gets out there consistently and starts issuing citations, they're right. I just hope that they can get the public trained before someone gets killed there.

Observed tonight...Start time 8:05PM, road conditions: wet and drizzling. Here's the data.
8:17 PM - Red extended cab Chevy truck with landscaping materials turned around on Old Sexton Place. Now, he didn't make a U-turn thankfully, but it certainly unfairly annoys the residents there.
8:18 PM - Red Jetta made a U-turn
8:21 PM - Teal Toyota Tercel made a U-turn
8:22 PM - Burgundy Nissan Xterra SUV made a U-turn. This guy actally signaled his intent, he put on his left blinker and then swung his vehicle wide right driving over the right turn lane markings.
8:23 PM - White Jeep made a U-turn, and at the same time!!!!
8:23 PM - A large red dually truck came out of the driveway by Taco Bell and drove right over the median to the Bojangles side.
At this point I tried to call the Mayor. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I hope you are reading this Mr. Mayor. Your mailbox was not accepting messages at 8:28. We really need you to go out there yourself and see what is happening here. What about the property owners, can you talk to them? They ought to have some liability here for how traffic is directed from their property. Think about it... If someone on their way to Fayetteville, for example, sees Taco Bell and stops for a quick bite, they will automatically assume they can exit the same way they came. As it stands now, they don't realize they can't continue on until they try to exit and are faced with a median and, for most, no option but to make a right. If they don't live around here they likely don't care about making an illegal U-turn at this point. They're probably in a hurry, have somewhere to go, and so they risk it. They also risk the safety of the folks who live in Fuquay-Varina.

The solution is simple. Block traffic from exiting at Taco Bell. That driveway can easily be made an entrance only. Then direct traffic as they leave the establishments with arrows and lane markers to travel behind the carwash and make a left by the new church, then another left onto Purfoy if there intent it to continue to travel down Mainstreet.

At 8:34 PM I left disgusted.

Well, maybe this isn't an issue any more. The "No U turn" sign has been removed from this location.
