Barricades return to Southern Shores streets




PSA

On Sundays I turn off 158 onto S. Dogwood Trail then left on Pintail. I don't see where S. Dogwood is included in the barricades. Am I reading this correct?

Apparently no barricade there, but if you're going to church, you're local traffic, so you'd be allowed in.

Does anyone know how long this lasts? We come down 9/10 and love going through those residential streets to Duck, only because we enjoy looking at the golf course and the homes. Thanks!

I think they wished you would not do that. Maybe drive thru on a tuesday.


RE: Barricades return to Southern Shores streets




As I sat on RT 12 for nearly two hours last Saturday trying to get to my timeshare in Duck I got to witness firsthand the barricades in Southern Shores! They don't work! Even with the barricades and signs saying local traffic only I saw numerous cars go right down Ocean Pearl to come out further down on 12. I'm sure the police cannot ticket the offenders but it would have made me smile if they were there to turn their sorry butts around to get back in the line of traffic where they first ignored the barricades. I know everyone says it's the pedestrians in Duck. I personally think it's the lights and cars turning onto 12 trying to squeeze five cars into a 3- car space and back up traffic in both directions.

The walkers in Duck don’t help, but for sure, the lights are the bigger problem. A comment on the OBX Voice article suggested turning off the left turn arrows at Dogwood, Hillcrest and Sea Oats (with proper warning of course) and letting them sit there til Monday morning.
