General Road and Highway Discussion

[Bob_McBob]

I noticed the region is finally converting the notorious Erbsville Road and Conservation Drive intersection into a four-way stop on July 13. It should absolutely be a roundabout given the new developments and increased traffic on Conservation Drive, but they're apparently unwilling to expropriate the land at this time. I guess a messy four-way stop is better than the current blind two-way stop, but expropriating that little barn on the corner would greatly improve safety.

I drove through here a couple times on Saturday and it was... interesting. A lot of people are still not treating it as a 4-way stop. I saw several cars blow through the stop signs on Erbsville Rd, and cars on Conservation Dr sitting and waiting even though they had the right of way. I maintain this really should be a roundabout given the upcoming further development on Conservation Dr. I wonder how many collisions that little barn on the corner has caused over the years.
