STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Drivers on Courthouse Road now have some help knowing when other cars have come to a stop on the two-lane road.
The Virginia Department of Transportation on earlier this month planned to activate a new flashing warning system to alert drivers to stoped cars near Winding Creek Road.
More in a press release from the agency:
On Thursday, Nov. 15, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) plans to activate the recently installed Advance Warning Flasher on Route 630 (Courthouse Road) near Winding Creek Elementary School in Stafford County.
The Advance Warning Flasher will provide advance warning to motorists travelling east on Courthouse Road just west of Ramoth Church Road (Route 628) that vehicles are stopped and waiting to make a left turn onto northbound Route 628 (Winding Creek Road).
VDOT conducted testing of the warning system today in preparation of the full activation.
Transportation officials estimate Courthouse Road carries some 11,000 cars per day.
Winding Creek Elementary School sits at the intersection of Courthouse and Winding Creek roads.
