Check out the article at WYDaily about the denial of a traffic light by VDOT here: http://www.wydaily.com/local-news/5015-vdot-no-traffic-light-needed-by-new-schools.html
In my opinion, this is quite a shame. The county schools, police, and government all support the requested light and slower school speed limit, but the state does not. What will it take to get the state to agree with the county and it’s residents? After driving through that intersection myself, I agree that even before the schools were open, a traffic light would be a major boon there. Only time will tell if the extra turn lanes and grading will help.
