🚧 If you frequently travel through Whitted Road and Johnson Pond Road, you’ll be glad to hear that a new roundabout is on the way to improve safety and ease traffic flow.
Why the Change?
The current intersection has visibility issues, making it difficult for drivers to safely navigate cross traffic. With Fuquay-Varina’s continued growth, this intersection has become increasingly congested, highlighting the need for a safer, more efficient traffic solution.
That’s where the roundabout comes in! 🚗💨
What Are the Benefits of a Roundabout?
✅ Improves Traffic Flow – Vehicles keep moving, reducing long waits at stop signs.
✅ Enhances Safety – Fewer conflict points lead to fewer accidents.
✅ Reduces Delays – No more unnecessary stops when the intersection is clear.
