The intersection of River Birch Drive and South LHS Drive in Lumberton, Texas has become increasingly dangerous and congested, yet it remains unsignalized. This area sits between a growing residential neighborhood and high-traffic businesses, including Starbucks and a 7 Brew location currently under construction. Vehicles regularly back up trying to enter driveways, and left turns into or out of this intersection are difficult and hazardous. Without a traffic light, drivers must navigate heavy through-traffic and turning conflicts with no controlled signal, increasing the risk of crashes.

Traffic crash data shows Lumberton experiences significant crash activity citywide, and this intersection contributes to that safety concern even without a formal signal study released publicly. We believe the increased commercial development and existing traffic patterns justify immediate action.

We, the undersigned, call on the City of Lumberton and TxDOT to conduct a comprehensive traffic safety evaluation and install a traffic signal at River Birch Dr & S. LHS Dr. If you have been involved in or have personally witnessed crashes at this intersection, your support by signing is especially important in highlighting the urgent need for safer traffic control.

Sign below to show community support for a traffic signal at this dangerous intersection.
