Issue / Strategy
ROADWAY CAPACITY (RC)
RC-1 Insufficient Queuing Area at Main Gate on Berkeley Blvd.
Access to Seymour Johnson AFB during peak periods and reservist weekends causes traffic stacking on public roads. The primary gate located off South Berkeley Blvd. is the
most widely used access point but has limited room for vehicle stacking. This lack of space can cause traffic to back up on South Berkeley Blvd. creating a safety hazard.

available to alleviate vehicle stacking at the intersection.
