CLEMMONS — After extensive discussions with Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools, Clemmons Elementary and the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, the village council has decided to implement some changes to improve traffic flow and safety around Clemmons Elementary.

Effective on Friday, Aug. 9, three blocks of James Street and one block of Bingham Avenue will be converted to one-way streets. This decision aims to reduce the congestion and blockages on Stadium Drive caused by school traffic and enhance overall safety for our community.

Traffic engineers were engaged to help devise these solutions, given the resources available to the village of Clemmons. 

Mike Gunnell, who is the village manager, said that the town was unable to make changes on private property, and no additional resources were available from other entities for this project.

“We understand this adjustment may impact your usual routes, and we sincerely appreciate your cooperation as we work to improve traffic conditions around our schools,” Gunnell said. “Your patience and understanding are crucial as we navigate these changes together.”
