January 2025 Update:
In response to community feedback, at this time, VDOT is only proposing to restrict U-Turns on northbound Rolling Road at Bauer Drive. Per VDOT, the new signage will be fabricated and installed in the coming months.
On December 11, 2024, VDOT held a meeting to share information on its proposal to restrict left turns from Bauer Drive onto northbound Rolling Road in West Springfield. While a traffic signal is warranted at the intersection, it could be many years before it is funded. VDOT is proposing interim changes at the intersection to improve safety; between 2019 and 2023 there were 29 crashes at this intersection and 21 involved someone making this turn. At the meeting, many residents in the Bauer Drive area expressed concern with limiting this movement, especially on a 24-hour basis, and made some suggestions that VDOT will be reviewing.
