Traffic Pattern Change – 35th and Rhododendron Drive
The City of Florence will be changing the Traffic Pattern on Rhododendron Drive at 35th Street from a single STOP west bound on 35th Street to an all-way STOP beginning August 5, 2024 (Updated 7/28/24 due to anticipated weather conditions).
The Rhododendron Drive Realignment and Improvement Project has widened Rhododendron Drive at 35th Street to provide a dedicated south bound through lane and a south bound left turn lane onto 35th Street east bound. The City is taking advantage of the improvements and creating an all-way STOP at that intersection.
What motorists and bicyclists can expect to see with the change:
- Northbound traffic on Rhododendron Drive at 35th Street will have an LED enhanced STOP sign and STOP bar.
- Southbound traffic on Rhododendron Drive at 35th will have an LED enhanced STOP sign, stop bar, and two dedicated travel lanes. One is for left turns onto 35th Street east bound and the other travel lane is for south bound traffic. Both lanes need to STOP and obey traffic rules for an all-way STOP.
- As north bound traffic approaches the intersection of Rhododendron Drive and 35th Street, there will be a Traffic Pattern Change Ahead sign followed by a STOP Ahead warning sign.
- As south bound traffic approaches the intersection of Rhododendron Drive and 35th Street, there will be a Traffic Pattern Change Ahead sign followed by a STOP Ahead warning sign.
Traffic on 35th Street west bound will remain traffic controlled with a STOP sign and no other changes.
This traffic pattern change also corresponds with the temporary full closure of Rhododendron Drive between Wildwinds Street and New Hope Lane. For community members and garbage haulers that are wanting to access the Lane County Transfer Station, they will need to access New Hope Lane from the north, using 35th Street as the detour route. For community members wanting to access the Oregon Coast Humane Society, they too will need to access from the north via 35th Street to Rhododendron Drive.
