We are passing this along to staff.

This location was study for left turn movement for side street approaches during the past months using the guidelines from the Federal Highway Administration “Signalized Intersection: Information Guide” (FHWA-SA-13-027). NCDOT has also fully adopted these guidelines as standards. These guidelines contain criteria for the consideration of the installation of Left-Turn Phasing (protected-permissive, permissive-protected or protected only) traffic signals. Some of this criteria used include traffic volumes and turning movement counts for peak times of a typical day. In addition, recent crash history is also analyzed for particular crashes that may be considered correctable by the installation of protected only left-turn phasing and the minimum sight distance for the egress movement is also evaluated. Upon completion, the side street movements did not satisfy any of the volume thresholds to warrant a protected left turn movement at that time. However, this location is slotted to begin re-evaluation by mid-December.
Thanks for your concern with the safe and efficient movement of traffic.
