The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced that five intersections in Duplin County will be converted into all-way stops this month.
According to the announcement, NCDOT crews will start installing pavement markings and stop signs on N.C. 41 at the intersection with Jackson Store Road in Beulaville, on Thursday, Jan. 8.
Similar work will be conducted at the intersections of N.C. 50/N.C. 403 with Warren Road and Solomon Street, between Warsaw and Faison, on Monday, Jan. 13. Drivers are advised to remain alert in these areas while crews work to implement the new traffic patterns.
NCDOT determined that all-way stops would be the most cost-effective solution to improve safety at both intersections after conducting safety reviews that assessed traffic volumes and crash patterns.
