Staff has looked at the intersection of Falls of Neuse Road and Thorpshire Drive/I-540 ramp for the possibility of adding crosswalks and pedestrian signals. A traffic count at this location on January 8, 2021 showed that during the peak hour times, there were no pedestrians crossing in the AM peak hour, two crossing in the lunchtime peak hour, and two crossing in the PM peak hour. This is well below the pedestrian count required for signalization.

This issue has been closed. If the problem persists, please re-open this issue and give us more detailed information on how to identify the location of the problem - then we will get right on it. Thanks a lot for reporting!

You counted pedestrians in January. May I suggest doing it again now? Also may I suggest perhaps pedestrians don’t cross the intersection because it’s so dangerous?
