Animal crashes are top cause at Norfolk intersections; roundabouts planned for 2028 and 2030 to improve safety.
Norfolk staff report that traffic at St. John’s Road intersections with Blueline and Cockshutt roads remains acceptable with only minor delays during afternoon peaks.
A study of 8.5 years of crash data found animal-related incidents were the leading cause—36% at Blueline, 49% at Cockshutt—followed by failure to yield and inattentive driving.
Officials warn that installing traffic signals where not needed could worsen traffic flow, increase driver frustration, and not reduce crashes.
While some council members oppose changes, citing safety and personal commitments, staff maintain current conditions are safe.
Future plans include building roundabouts at both sites—estimated at $3.3 million each—scheduled for 2028 and 2030, as they are proven to reduce speeds and severe collisions compared to signals.
