VDOT draft recommends flashing warning light at Route 64/Dosch Road; no spike in crash data found
Summary
VDOT reported it has reviewed the draft intersection study for Route 64 and Dosch Road, indicated a warning/flashing intersection system is a likely recommendation, and said preliminary crash data show no significant post‑construction increase; the board asked for continued review and local enforcement follow‑up.
Mr. Brown, the highway/traffic representative appearing for the item, told the board that consultants have submitted a draft intersection study and that VDOT has reviewed the recommendations. "It's probably the next step would be some type of intersection flashing light," he said as the likely countermeasure under consideration.
Mr. Brown also reported that an initial analysis of crash data around a recent construction project did not show a significant increase compared with preconstruction counts. Board members and staff discussed speeding data from a traffic device removed from the corridor and asked the sheriff's office and state police to review enforcement and patrol options.
The county will continue coordination with VDOT on study completion and next steps; Mr. Brown said the full, updated study should be available at a future meeting.
