~ Stay alert, work is set to begin April 14, weather permitting ~

RICHMOND, VA – In a continued effort to improve safety, construction will begin next week to replace traffic signal equipment on Roseneath Road at the intersections of Patterson Avenue and Kensington Avenue with all way stop control. The traffic signal equipment will be removed and replaced with all-way stop signs. Construction timelines include:

• April 14, construction start date, weather permitting:
  
  • During the first week, all-way signs will be installed, and the existing traffic signals will be switched to an “all red flashing pattern” as a transition to alert drivers of the change.
• April 21: the traffic control signals will be begin, weather permitting:
  
  • Once the traffic control signals, poles and other equipment have been safely removed, the all-way stop control will continue to provide traffic control.

These improvements are designed to maintain safety for all users.

Reminder guidelines for all-way stop signs for people that drive:

• Come to a complete stop (even if there are no other vehicles visible)
• Always stop for people crossing the street
• The first vehicle to arrive and stop at the intersection should be the first to go
  
  • If two or more vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the right has the right-of-way

Please give our construction workers extra space and slow down when you see orange cones in the work zones.
