The county finally agreed to fix the intersection. It has been a long and draining fight but I am relieved that we can stop worrying about our families crossing those roads. Stay alert to ensure the work actually gets done right.

Do you want to wait for a tragedy to happen at this intersection? That is what our county and VDOT plan to do. With daily close calls a fatality is only a matter of time. Its imminent. Is it going to be someone in your family?
We need for our County and VDOT to step up and fix this dangerous intersection of Stefaniga Road and Mountainview Road. The slope, visibility and speed all combine to make this intersection a danger zone. School buses frequent this intersection.
Every day our Stafford County residents put their lives and the lives of their children and families on the line just trying to get to school, to the store, anywhere. Something needs to be done and done FAST!
Please help us with supporting our community project to make this intersection SAFE for everyone!
PLEASE SIGN OUT PETITION AND SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT. It would be helpful if you also left a comment about your experiences at this intersection to bolster our position and show our community leaders that its a critical issue.

I have spent the last few nights reading through your accounts of near misses at the intersection and I am honestly shaken by how many of you fear for your lives every time you pull onto the road. It feels like a long road ahead to get the county to listen but I am still here at my desk working on our next package of evidence for VDOT.

Reaching this point has been exhausting but the sheer volume of stories about near misses at this intersection proves I am not the only one losing sleep over it. It is clear that our community is tired of waiting for a tragedy to force action. We will keep fighting until the county stops ignoring us.

We have 3 teen drivers and this intersection is extremely dangerous. Too many kidss driving to Mountain View high school in the mornings, it takes forever to make a left turn because it’s so hard to see the cars. It would be great if they fixed this intersection.
My husband and I considered purchasing a home off this road. We decided the roadway was too unsafe after seeing several near misses from people turning left onto Mountain View road. I would not want my children to learn to drive on that road, it's too dangerous.
This corner needs to have a complete stop sign from all directions. It allows a safer access to the road. The only way to really know if a car is coming is to roll down my window during the day to listen for cars ( with my hearing loss ) or at night look for headlights coming from either direction. It's not safe.
My daughter was involved in an accident at this intersection. I see at least one close call EVERY day.
Every time I turn in or out of the road I always feel the need to pray before because I know that any on coming traffic will have no idea that I'm there and similarly I won't know that there's on coming traffic until it's too late because of the hill blocking the view.
It’s a very dangerous intersection
In normal weather conditions the intersection scares me....add rain, darkness or snow and it’s a disaster waiting to happen. We, my husband and Just turned onto stefaniga from mountainview this past Saturday and heard a loud bang ...looked behind us and three cars, the three that were behind us, had collided...we could have been in that...thankfully everyone was ok. We moved here almost 3 years ago...the traffic in the spot has gotten much worse with the influx of new houses surrounding that area, the accidents have been happening more frequently. Something does need to be done. I also think the huge curve down the road from the intersection on stefaniga I also an accident and terribly tragedy waiting to happen...people driving into your lane and you hugging the embankment is very scary. Something needs to be done.

This intersection is horrible especially when the grass on sides of road are not kept cut. You have to be in the intersection before you can see if any cars are coming. Very dangerous situation. The county does not keep up the grass as needed and there will be many accidents around the outer county roads. Will it take a person in an accident to sue the county for negligence before something is done?
