Junction City Manager Allen Dinkel reported Tuesday night traffic is working well around the new Walmart neighborhood market on the west side of town, but some No U-turn signs are needed.

Dinkel stated, “I’m confident that we don’t have any traffic problems at Walmart if people follow the law.  Way back in driver’s ed we were told not to cross the double yellow line unless you’re pulling in the driveway. But we’re having people do that doing U-turns and everything else. We’ll have to look at law enforcement and everything else”

Dinkel noted traffic numbers have worked out well.

The new store opened in November. Prior to its opening local officials were concerned about traffic congestion near the site, but traffic control design measures were implemented to help deal with that situation.
