During the Culpeper County Planning Commission meeting on November 13, 2024, community concerns regarding local traffic and safety were prominently discussed. A resident from Jefferson Springs expressed frustration over the increasing traffic issues linked to nearby housing developments. The individual highlighted a significant rise in fatalities at the intersection of Springs Road and Route 229, as well as the interchange of Routes 229 and 211, attributing these dangers to the growth of the housing industry in the area.

The resident emphasized the importance of addressing these safety concerns before any further development is approved. They noted their preference for rural living, stating that they moved to the country to escape suburban life, and expressed appreciation for the Planning Commission's attention to these pressing issues.

The discussion underscored the need for careful consideration of traffic impacts as Culpeper County continues to develop. The Planning Commission's response to these concerns will be crucial in shaping future housing projects and ensuring community safety.
