TAC recommends 4‑way stop at Newport Royal Road and Burgess Lane
Summary
The Transportation Advisory Committee voted unanimously to favorably recommend placing a 4‑way stop at the Newport Royal Road and Burgess Lane intersection after residents raised pedestrian‑safety concerns.
The Transportation Advisory Committee voted unanimously Oct. 20 to favorably recommend that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approve a 4‑way stop at Newport Royal Road and Burgess Lane.
Committee members said the request came from residents of the Wingate Subdivision and noted frequent pedestrian use of a nearby walking trail and prior incidents at the intersection. A committee member asked that a “stop ahead” sign be placed on the southbound approach because sight lines there are obstructed; staff said final work would follow the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
A motion to favorably recommend the item to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen passed unanimously; the transcript records the committee’s approval but does not record individual roll‑call votes.
The committee’s recommendation will be delivered to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for final action.
