Now that you mention it, I think that is correct. They'll probably look for a way to name something there for a politician though.

I'll try and find a better link... But page 1 for sure! It not only is in keeping with the designs of the other 3 roundabouts I'm aware of in Morgantown. Those being the one on the mile ground, the one at ruby and the one at the new UTC interchange. It also will slow drivers down a little while the others appear to flow smother they may lead to more accidents at the faster speeds drivers would do since their not making very sharp turns.

I don't often come through this intersection at peak times, but is it really needed? I would think there are some other places in town to address ahead of this intersection. Of course, it could be worse than I realize at peak times.

my sentiments as well, we use this route sometimes as an alternate to Patteson Dr. to get to UTC, and never run into any problems.....but that is only like once a month if that, so maybe it does get choked up at certain times......

I have to drive that intersection multiple times a day, a lot during rush hour. In short, yes it is really needed, especially with a new school off of Collins ferry and a couple of the I-79 access study options that made it through to the final phase showing a bridge being built over the mon at the end of Collins ferry and tying collins ferry into van vorhis.

For starters they need a no turn left sign posted. ASAP.

Well, that's the problem, right? That's the only good way to get anywhere north without going to 705 or cutting though a residential street. Even without the new school by NETL, you have Suncrest Middle right near the intersection, and while I've never had to wait too long at that intersection, it's not safe in the slightest. Putting a roundabout there would be best.
