This road was opened to reduce traffic congestion on Maple Ave. Due to the lower speed it causes congestion on military, and increases travel time across Northpointe. It also causes increased traffic on Olde Falls Road a hilly, curvy, two lane road that is now 5 mph faster. These reasons reduce the effectiveness of Northpointe as a bypass route.
