Project Overview
The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to construct a reduced conflict intersection (RCI) at the intersection of N.C. 24/27 and Pine Bluff Road/Reed Mine Road (S.R. 1100) in Locust.
Improvements proposed include converting the traditional intersections to RCI to help reduce crashes occurring at this intersection and increase serviceability.
What is a Reduced Conflict Intersection?
The most common type of reduced conflict intersection design eliminates left turns from side roads onto busy main roads.
Raised medians direct traffic from the side road to turn right. When there is a safe opening in traffic, drivers enter the flow of traffic on the main route. To go the other direction (traditionally a left turn), or cross the highway, drivers pull into a dedicated lane – typically less than 1,000 feet away – and make a U-turn. There may be a traffic signal at this location.

RESOURCES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
Although the N.C. Department of Transportation works to minimize the number of homes and businesses displaced by a road project, it is inevitable, in many cases, that a certain amount of private property is needed.
