No way !!!.... this person must be a "cut-through" driver using Tyrrell/Currituck as short cut to Lassiter Mill Road. This request would impact the locals who live in the area by impeding tarffic on Currituck!

It’s a dangerous intersection for kids in the neighborhood who walk to and from school each day. Having a four way stop would make crossing the street much safer.

Yes, please add a stop sign for the safety of all of our children

I realize it might be a pain at first and something to get used to but it is a big deal and could prevent accidents for all ages. Too many go too fast and aren’t looking. Please put them up.

Yes, I absolutely support adding a stop sign at this intersection. Lots of safety reasons!!

Our 10 year old son was HIT BY A CAR while crossing this intersection today on his bicycle and it was not someone "cutting through" the neighborhood. Thankfully, he will be fine and only has minor scrapes and bruises. The car that hit him was coming over the hill on Currituck going towards Yadkin and was blinded by the sun. We have many children who need to cross this intersection every day at multiple times to go to schools in our neighborhood. Their safety should be of utmost importance!! PLEASE install these stop signs so that everyone can be kept safe. This information has already been reported to Jed Niffenegger with the City of Raleigh.

Very sorry to hear about Jack; but glad he is O.K.

We have a child who bikes to school as well and this has always been a consent of ours. It is a dangerous intersection due to the hill and related decreased visibility on Currituck. Please consider a stop sign, as there is NO ‘traffic congestion issue’ currently, nor could there be as a result of stop sign placement. Safety of our children should always come first and is secondary to 3 seconds of inconvenience. So glad Jack is okay April and than you for sharing your story.

This road is very dangerous and it needs to fixed ASAP! The safety of the kids should be a priority. Having a stop sign will slow down people-even if they cut through! A child got hit by a car, stand up and make sure that does not happen again. If you can’t fix it at least provide a bus for the students who live in that neighborhood- the neighborhood is .5 miles away from the school and the intersection is .2 miles away from the school... expand the school zone AT LEAST!!

100% support this request for a 4-way stop at the intersection of Currituck and Tyrrell.
Bike riders, pedestrians and drivers are currently at risk due to visibility issues. The fact that a child was HIT BY A CAR driven by a non-negligent driver demonstrates how dangerous the intersection is to all.

I am nervous for my son and his friends when they go to and from each others houses when they have to cross this intersection. Unfortunately, I know change is difficult and a little bit of a pain, but with all of the young people on bikes as well as daily walkers, we really need a plan in place to slow down and occasionally stop traffic. It just keeps us aware and paying attention.

We need stop signs immediately to keep everyone safe. We are not opposed to installing our own if the city doesn’t bring immediate attention to this!

I, too live in this neighborhood and worry EVERY day as my son walks or bikes to school and to friends' houses. Please put up a 4 way stop here to slow cars down in our neighborhood. People drive too fast and it poses a threat to our families!

This intersection desperately needs to become a four way stop. It is especially dangerous in the morning due to hills and sun glare when our neighborhood’s children are biking and walking to school. Please expedite this request so no more children are injured! There will be no issue of congestion with the addition of these signs. If anything, it will vastly improve traffic flow and safety of all neighbors!

This intersection is a major cut-through for folks driving north on North Brook and cutting through to get to the North Hill Mall complex. Because of the cut-through traffic, people mistakenly treat this as a major thoroughfare instead of a neighborhood street. The intersection is both a school bus stop and is heavily travelled by foot traffic going to and coming home from Books Elementary school. It has become more and more apparent that a stop sign is needed, as the North Hills Mall area continues to grow, and traffic volumes continue to increase through our neighborhood. Please strongly consider this request to convert the intersection to a 4 way stop from a 2 way stop. The minor inconvenience that drivers experience will be more than offset by the added safety to our children. Thank you!

Please install a 4 way stop sign AND traffic calming measures (seen at other intersections where pedestrians need to cross ie. demarcated cross lines, signage of children crossing) at this intersection!! It is a bus stop and frequently used by children walking and biking to school. Recently, a child was hit by a car at this intersection. It should not take an accident involving a CHILD to get the attention of this issue by the City and the neighborhood. If you have driven through this intersection, you can attest to the major blind spot due to a large road/ hills on Currituck.

Please fix this and please support the families and children using this intersection, neighbors! It will make it more friendly to senior citizens and people walking their dogs as well! Thank you for your urgent attention!

Currituck Dr is currently part of an active traffic calming project that starts at the intersection of Tyrrell Rd and ends at Lassiter Mill Rd. The project includes traffic calming treatments such as median islands and curb extensions. This project is also proposing sidewalk connectivity throughout the project scope. This will allow for a safer pedestrian crossing at intersections and increased pedestrian safety for pedestrians walking along the street. The contract is currently in routing with work expected to start in early 2020. Based on this area being an active project, we recommend waiting until construction has concluded before altering the traffic patterns further. We will monitor vehicle patterns during construction as well as perform a 6 month after study to evaluate effectiveness of the project. After project completion, if intersection safety is still a concern, we can re-evaluate to determine multi-way stop applicability.

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!

Please tell me how one can see the proposed changes?? I would certainly hope that the City of Raleigh would EXPEDITE these “proposed changes” considering a CHILD WAS HIT BY A CAR AT THIS INTERSECTION!!!!! I do plan on keeping this an open issue until something is done about it!

Thank you for contacting the City of Raleigh. Your service request ID is #587960. We will be posting additional updates about your request as we have them.

City of Raleigh, would you consider installing a 4 way stop sign immediately while these traffic calming plans are being implemented? I too have witnessed adult walkers nearly getting hit by a passing truck, and on the flip side, have nearly hit another car myself when blinded by the sun. It is a dangerous intersection and I can't think of anything more convincing and worthy of immediate action than a CHILD being hit by a car. Please keep this issue open and do something before someone else is hurt. Thank you,
