Fayetteville police announced another series of directed traffic enforcements at select intersections around town. The idea is to bring awareness to drivers regarding traffic collisions and to try and reduce the number of accidents.
The enforcements will begin Thursday, May 10 at the intersection of College Avenue and Joyce Boulevard.
Police officers will utilize marked and unmarked vehicles during the directed enforcement and will be looking for the following violations:
- Following too close
- Improper use of center lane
- Failure to yield
- Failure to signal turn or lane changes
- Improper right turn
- Disobeying traffic signals
Officials say these violations are the most common contributing factors to traffic accidents in Fayetteville.
In the past, enforcements have moved to other intersections throughout the summer including College Avenue and Township Street, and Mission Boulevard and Crossover Road.
They could do this every day and we’d never have to raise taxes here again. The lightrunners from College to westbound Joyce are out of control. Not to mention the white-line hoppers trying to cross College to get to eastbound Joyce. The whole interchange is a Charlie Foxtrot.
Good! Hope all those people who run red lights get big tickets.
This is the most dysfunctional intersection known to mankind.
If Fayetteville PD consistently ticketed just the red light runners in this intersection, we could afford Lights of the Ozarks, 4th of July fireworks and unicorns for every Fayetteville resident.
This intersection has shortened my lifespan via its rage-inducing mismanagement.
Is it legal to make a u-turn on college there?
Yes
No, it’s not illegal, there are no signs posted.
when they get done there they need to move back up to Crossover/Mission intersection in the morning amazing how many people use the right lane and then decide ooops I meant to go straight – this is why there is road rage and people getting flipped off
