And if they were smart, they would make it meet with the new intersection that leads to Trace Fork. Just an idea.

After some reconsideration, I can tell that the topography is not suitable for a four way intersection there. The hillside is simply too steep and unforgiving.
I did notice that cars coming from the shopping center on the new road will be forced to turn right at the bottom. I assume that is a temporary measure until the Jefferson Road project is further along and can support a stoplight there. That kind of defeats the purpose of the road for people trying to leave Trace Fork, but it makes sense for the time being.
