County of Greene issued the following announcement on Aug. 21.
N.C. Department of Transportation crews will convert Hwy 123 N. at Fourway Rd. and Ormondsville Rd. to an all-way stop in the coming weeks. Currently, drivers on Hwy 123 N. do not stop.
Why Install an All-Way Stop?
An all-way stop is an efficient and cost-effective way to improve the safety of an intersection and reduce the risk of serious crashes. Converting intersections into all-way stops has been shown to reduce fatalities and injuries by 77 percent. The N.C. Department of Transportation recommends an all-way stop only after a thorough evaluation of the intersection. The evaluation includes an analysis of the traffic volumes, crash history, sight distance, and a field investigation.
