Safety upgrades are now complete at the intersection of Forestville Road and Louisburg Road. The intersection now uses a Reduced Conflict Intersection (RCI) design. A private developer completed the work while building a new business nearby.
This intersection has had several serious and deadly crashes over the years. The new design helps make the intersection safer and keeps traffic moving.
Drivers on Forestville Road who want to turn left onto Louisburg Road will now turn right first. Then they will use a marked U-turn area to head in the direction they want to go. This new design helps reduce serious crashes by making left turns safer.
Reduced Conflict Intersections are used in many places across the country. The Federal Highway Administration recommends this design because it helps reduce serious crashes. The City is making changes like this to help make Raleigh's streets safer for everyone.
