Absolutely restriping is the answer. It needs to be done at all Dixie intersections from Hillsborough Street to Lake Boone!

The stripes are already farther away from the intersection than normal. Any farther and you would be too far away. Some bus drivers can turn with no problem while others don't seem to care to make it. If anything, signs need to be put up to indicate where to stop and bus drivers need to be trained on how to make sharper turns.

I've referred this to our Public Works Department. When the staff has had a chance to respond I’ll post an update. Thanks for reporting.

I once heard from a bus driver that right turns are the hardest part about driving a bus. Some drivers are clearly more skilled then others. Additional training may help, although all drivers do already have their commercial driving license and training.

I know several intersections that aren't possible no matter who's driving (like Peace & St Mary's or Oberlin & Cameron, but I'm not sure about Dixie & Wade). But moving the line 20-30 feet back from the intersection for dedicated left-turn lanes seems reasonable to me.

They are planning on putting in a Traffic Circle at this intersection...

This has been forwarded to Public Works for review, an update will be posted when we hear back from them.

Per Public Works: We have already moved the stop bar back a year or so ago to address this. We will work with NCDOT to find an acceptable amount without compromising safety.
