However, the city said this on Wednesday morning: "2025 Traffic Analysis completed, the results is the intersection does not meet the threshold for signalization. Accidents reported from January 2018 until August 26, 2025, found careless drivers, stops signs ignored/ran, fail to obey a traffic control device, improper lane/U-Turn, fail to yield, following to close with no indication that the intersection itself is/was the underlying contributing factor or problem.After the last accident in January 2026, staff undertook analysis of other traffic control measures besides signalization, including possible four-way stop controlled intersection. Staff is looking at a task authorization for a third-party traffic analysis and looking to identify funding resources. The Traffic Division modified the yellow lines on Newmark Drive from Treehaven Drive to Salters Court to eliminate the passing zone in this location. 30" stop signs were upgraded to 36" stop signs. All vegetation as you approach the intersection from both roadways is being monitored to ensure that clear line of sight is maintained."The city added: "It warrants mentioning that there are several traffic control devices as you approach the intersection both on Newmark Drive & Humphrey Boulevard:Humphrey Boulevard – north-west boundStop Sign Ahead SignageFlashing Intersection Ahead Signage (this replaced the rumble strips previously installed and removed due to resident noise complaints).Newmark Drive – south boundIntersection Ahead Signage45° curve signsNewmark Drive – north boundIntersection Ahead Signage45° curve signs>> Download the WESH 2 app to stay up to date on breaking news and weather
