This change is taking place following an NCDOT investigation that found traffic volumes, crashes and other factors warranted installing the additional stop signs on McCoy Road. The conversion work will be postponed if there is inclement weather that day.

As drivers approach the intersection, they are advised to follow these right-of-way rules:

• The first vehicle to the intersection has the right of way ahead of any vehicle that has not yet arrived.

• When two or more vehicles reach an intersection at the same time, the vehicle to the right has the right of way.

• The vehicle with the right of way may move straight ahead or, if legal and after signaling, turn left or right.

• When two facing vehicles approach an intersection at the same time, both drivers can move straight ahead or turn right. If one driver is going straight while the other wants to turn left, the driver who wants to turn left must wait. The driver who is traveling straight ahead has the right of way.

• Even with the right of way, remember to use the appropriate turn signals and be careful to avoid hitting other vehicles and pedestrians.

Knoxwood Drive closes for a month

As work continues on the widening project of N.C. 73 (Sam Furr Road) between U.S. 21(Statesville Road) and N.C. 115 (Old Statesville Road). the Knoxwood Drive connection to N.C.73 will be closed until early July. As part of the project, Blythe Development was required to close the intersection as it works to lower the grade on Knoxwood Drive to tie in to the new Sam Furr Road grade.

There will be a detour directing Knoxwood Drive traffic around to Hampton Crossing to access N.C. 73.
