Traffic Engineering staff investigated. A review of crash history for the last three years revealed a total of two crashes at this intersection involving northbound left turns not yielding the right-of-way to southbound through traffic. One of the signal warrants is a crash history of at least five correctable crashes per year before considering a traffic signal. The NAS Oceana back gate off of Hornet Drive is only open to the base traffic in the morning and afternoon rush hours, Monday through Friday. Based on staff's evaluation, the existing YIELD traffic control for northbound left traffic is appropriate for this location. However, the Police Department has been asked for selective enforcement of the YIELD sign at this location during the afternoon rush hours.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for looking into this. I hope they didn't investigate this from brhind a desk. They need to go out and actually see what is going on. I understand there will be no traffic light but a stop sign instead of a yield sign would be awesome.

As mentioned above, staff determined the YIELD sign is appropriate, so it will not be changed to a STOP sign. They did observe this in the field and not just behind a desk. Police will be enforcing the existing YIELD sign.
