As part of the reconstruction of Highway 62, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) added a Reduced Conflict Intersection for motorists leaving the Crown Point neighborhood to be able to travel east. Motorists have not been using this intersection as intended and have been driving off the pavement. To properly use this intersection, a motorist should be crossing the nearest lane of traffic and merge with the far traffic lane. MnDOT has provided the link to an instructional video on how these intersections should be used: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/roadwork/rci/.
