We have looked into your concerns at this intersection. The wait time on Maywood is due to the fact that Saunders Street Is running a coordinated pattern to keep inbound traffic flowing in the morning. Some adjustments to the timings have been made and will be monitored for overall efficiency in allowing more vehicles to clear during the Maywood phase.

The intersection of Centennial Parkway and Oval Drive has a no right turn on red mainly due to the greenway section crossing Oval Drive. The ADA wheel chair ramps dictate where the marked crosswalk will go and the stop bar location is dictated by the marked crosswalk. Stop bars should be located four feet behind any marked crosswalks. This is per the Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Since the stop bar is located almost 50’ back from the intersecting road, the sight distance is not adequate for right turns on red if measured behind the stop bar.

Based on current peak hour traffic volumes and patterns, the traffic signals along the Lake Wheeler corridor are being tested in a coordinated pattern. These plans are only being tested during the AM and PM peak times at this point. The current wait times should be no longer than 90 seconds and they may be adjusted for efficiency to lesser times as the testing allows. For further inquiry, please contact Chris Jefferson at 919-996-3020 or via email at chris.jefferson@raleighnc.gov.

This corridor is set to move the high volume of traffic on Wilmington Street. We do run a 220 minute cycle through this corridor during the high peak times. This would mean that if you hit it just right during this high volume with all directions you could have a wait up to 3.5 minutes. Unlike Chapanoke, Tryon is a major thoroughfare and entering Wilmington Street from there might result in more cycle time for the intersecting traffic.

I've referred this to our Public Works Department. I will update this issue when I have heard back from them. Thanks for reporting.

This was taken care of over the weekend.

Some timing adjustments have been made which should increase the efficiency and minimize the delay. The City will monitor this location and make adjustments as needed.

This issue was not closed by City of Raleigh representative and we would like to review the issue.

Based on current traffic volumes, the Wilmington Street corridor goes into the AM peak plan shortly after six and stays in that pattern until after nine. The corridor’s cycle length is 160 seconds with Wilmington getting the majority of that time. We will look into making some intersection timing adjustments to make the delay shorter for the side street.

This has been fixed.
