The City of Raleigh, in their infinite wisdom has decided to turn this intersection into a four way stop. The light will blink red for about a month and then they will install stop signs. This is in an effort to calm traffic on Glascock. Brilliant, right?

The changes being made are at the request of residents in the area. As part of the traffic calming process residents in the area had a good sized say in things. Not only did they approach the city about installing traffic calming measures they also had a say in what those measures could/would be.

The sad thing here is that I imagine that only a few residents turned out for the meetings. Guess what happened then. Those residents made the decisions and the City Council acted upon their wishes.

There are no issues with this light. It is supposed to be flashing red.
