During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on traffic management and safety measures, particularly the installation of stop signs and access requests from local businesses. A commissioner with extensive experience in traffic control emphasized the importance of adhering to established guidelines when considering the placement of stop signs. He cautioned that improperly placed stop signs could lead to driver disregard and create hazards at other intersections.

The commissioner proposed that any decision to install stop signs should be based on traffic volume counts, suggesting that a thorough assessment is necessary to determine if the conditions warrant such measures. He made a motion to conduct a traffic volume count before proceeding with any decisions regarding stop sign installations, which received unanimous support from fellow commissioners.

Additionally, the meeting addressed a request from 7 Brew Coffee for a right-in, right-out access point onto Garth Brooks Boulevard. Questions arose regarding the rationale behind this request, particularly since there are currently no curb cuts along that stretch of road. The discussion highlighted the need for careful consideration of traffic flow and safety in relation to new business developments in the area.

The meeting underscored the importance of data-driven decision-making in traffic management to ensure public safety and effective infrastructure planning.
