    Stone Monument Dr & Ligon Mill Rd Wake Forest, North Carolina, 27587 - Wake Forest

    *Entering Stone Monument from Ligon Mill is unsafe.
    Traveling south on Ligon Mill (toward 1A) traffic is reduced from 2 lanes to 1 lane just at the point where a left turn is required for entry to the complex. There is much confusion among drivers as to where this left turn should be made from (the lane which has ended so that through-traffic flow is not slowed, or from the remaining lane). This makes it difficult to anticipate the actions of other drivers.

    *Exiting Stone Monument Dr. onto Ligon Mill Rd is unsafe.
    Curve of Ligon Mill Rd. (to the south of Stone Monument Dr) does not allow for clear sight from Stone Monument Dr. of oncoming traffic. This is exacerbated by overgrown weeds/shrubs on the roadside as well as excessive speed of traffic traveling north.

    440 Stone Monument Drive Wake Forest, North Carolina, 27587 - Wake Forest

    The posted speed limit is 25 mph on Stone Monument Dr, but the majority of travelers pick up speed traveling west out of the adjoining neighborhood and down hill, as well as accelerating to get up the hill when traveling east from Ligon Mill Rd. Residents (and their children, pets) of the apartment complex need safe access across this street as they walk, carry trash to the dumpster, cross to the clubhouse/mailboxes/pool. In the adjoining neighborhood cars are parked along the curbs which helps to slow traffic along those stretches. Once drivers hit the wide-open spaces of the apartment complex their throttles are wide open as well. Please consider adding traffic calming mechanisms such as chicanes or chokers, a stop sign, or at a minimum, Pedestrian Crossing signs at the 2 crosswalks to remind speeding drivers that they are in a residential area. As you might imagine this is worst during high traffic times morning and evening but does occur throughout the day.
