All-way stop coming to NC 111 intersection

RICHLANDS — On Tuesday, Nov. 3, the intersection of NC 111 and Haw Branch Road was scheduled to be converted to an all-way stop. The intersection is just past the Duplin-Onslow County line in the Richlands area. According to a press release, the N.C. Department of Transportation installed new stop signs, flashers and pavement markings at the intersection, although the work is weather-dependent and could be rescheduled. “Over the last few years, NCDOT has implemented other mitigation strategies at this intersection including improvements to sight distance by clearing vegetation,” the press release stated. “Due to continued safety concerns, an all-way stop is warranted. NCDOT recommends an all-way stop only after a thorough evaluation of the intersection including analysis of traffic volumes, crash history, sight distance and a field investigation.“ According to NCDOT, an all-way stop is “a proven, cost-effective measure designed to enhance intersection safety and reduce the risk of serious crashes.” A 2023 NCDOT study showed that at nearly 350 rural intersections, all-way stop conversions reduce fatalities and serious injuries by 92%. Drivers should use caution when traveling near the area while the safety improvements are underway.
