Turning movement counts are to be ordered at the intersection of Dobbin Road at the private driveways (Target shopping center/Toys R’ Us). These counts will be used to perform a traffic signal warrant analysis. Although pedestrian crossing activities are not encouraged at the location, bus stops are provided on both sides (on Dobbin Road and at the PNC Bank).

Issue 1602348 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

There was a nasty accident at this intersection yesterday (12/15). It's said that this area is/was surveyed 8 months ago. When is something going to be done about this???

I do not recommend putting a stoplight at this location. I drive this road everyday both directions and it is completely safe. Putting a light here would dramatically interfere with traffic flow and add to an already congested area that does not need anymore lights.

Driving either direction on Dobbin isn't a big deal trying to get into either Target shopping center or the TRU center, it's the people coming out and turning left or going straight that have the hard time.
