Traffic Report

Figures 18 and 19 illustrate the intersection sight distance lines from Bongart Drive at Oval Road, and Figures 20 and 21 illustrate the intersection sight distance lines from Davey Drive at Warner Road.

The sight line from Davey Drive to the west appears unobstructed as well as the sight lines from Bongart Drive to the north and south.
