Intersection Traffic Signs Are Installed
Traffic signs and stop or yield signs have been set at every intersection on four streets to give through traffic priority over side streets. Westover Drive is the latest to gain through-street status with signs at its side streets, and new signs at Loyal, Wilson, and Jefferson support right of way on ungated intersections. Virginia law grants priority to traffic on the right where no controls exist, a rule sometimes leading to charges of failing to yield. Municipal Court Judge Calvin Berry often dismisses such charges, applying practical interpretation to accidents.
