Living in Spotsylvania & Culpeper Counties often involves daily trips along Route #3 (Plank Rd.) and Route #610 (Elys Ford Rd.). These trips have become part of our routines, the backdrop to our lives. But every day, as countless tourists, residents, church-goers, and truck drivers making their way to the local saw mill approach this intersection, we hold our breath. There is a real and immediate need for a turn lane to be installed here. Our community's safety is compromised each time our vehicles line up, waiting to make the often treacherous turn onto Elys Ford Rd.

The risk is too high to ignore. We must act now, and we need your help. We petition the Virginia Department of Transportation, National Parks Service, and County of Spotsylvania to take note of this persisting issue and make the necessary changes for improving the hazardous intersection of Route #3 and Route #610. Let's alleviate the ongoing traffic concerns on Plank Rd., and ensure a safer turn onto Elys Ford Rd. for all users -locals and tourists alike.

Our community deserves safe, efficient roads. Please, sign this petition and support these essential improvements.
