Drivers causing traffic issues in the Masonboro Loop area

The Wilmington Police Department wants to raise awareness about a traffic issue in the Masonboro Loop area.

During morning rush hour, motorists are using a cut-through on Jasper Place to avoid a busy intersection at Masonboro Loop and Masonboro Sound roads.

Officers say this short street is partially private. Developers have even posted a sign prohibiting through traffic.

Police would like to remind drivers that it is illegal to use a cut through to avoid a traffic light.
