Hunt Club Forest Virginia Beach

Well we are in the middle getting almost all the streets here in Hunt Club Forest paved, except for 1.

This is one of those things that really makes me wonder about how things are run in the City of Virginia Beach. It really defies all logic, come in and pave all the streets in a neighborhood except for one. All the equipment and crews are here, so why not just do the whole thing and be done with it, instead of waiting a few years, and endure all the costs on bringing all the men and equipment in, just to pave one street. Then we also have to consider the added traffic issues, 2 or 4 years down the road, when it is time to mill and pave Grey Fox…

Does anyone have any good ideas to stem the amount of traffic just passing through as a short cut between London Bridge Road and Princess Anne…

The amount of traffic is getting noticeably worse, and for the most part, these are the people that are speeding through the neighborhood.

I guess the ultimate thing would be to close the road between Southgate and Hunters Run…

Apparently most people in the neighborhood missed this one on the drivers test. Normally when I am driving or walking through the neighborhood, I see the majority of drivers completely ignoring these signs that the city was so nice to install to control the flow of traffic on our streets. I have had to pull back from crossing a street while walking on a regular basis. I guess it is one of those things that no one will do anything about, until someone gets seriously hurt or killed…

Virginia Law relating to Stop Signs.
§ 46.2-821. Vehicles before entering certain highways shall stop or yield right-of-way. The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection on a highway controlled by a stop sign shall, immediately before entering such intersection, stop at a clearly marked stop line, or, in the absence of a stop line, stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, in the absence of a marked crosswalk, stop at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway. Before proceeding, he shall yield the right-of-way to the driver of any vehicle approaching on such other highway from either direction. Where a “Yield Right-of-Way” sign is posted, the driver of a vehicle approaching or entering such intersection shall slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions, yield the right-of-way to the driver of another vehicle approaching or entering such intersection from another direction, and, if required for safety, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, or, in the absence of a stop line, stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway, and shall yield the right-of-way to the driver of any vehicle approaching on such other highway from either direction

Then we have the whole pedestrian right of way issue..
As defined by the Commonwealth Of Virginia
Right-of-Way
In Virginia, motorists convicted of failing to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians receive a four-point violation on their driver’s license and the points stay on their record for 3 years. (Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles)
Virginia law requires that the driver of any vehicle on a highway yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian crossing a highway:
at any clearly marked crosswalk, whether at mid-block or at the end of any block.
at any regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block.
at any intersection when the driver is approaching on a highway or street where the legal maximum speed does not exceed 35 miles per hour.
Pedestrians may not disregard approaching traffic when entering or crossing an intersection. (Virginia State Police)
