Willingham proposed installing no-left-turn signs for both directions during peak periods, or alternatively adjusting signal timing or using a Michigan-left design. He said the conflict causes long queues and repeated backups during peak traffic.

Commissioners and staff discussed options. Traffic Services staff said turn restrictions can be implemented administratively and suggested staff could run turning-movement counts and consider a time-of-day left-turn restriction if warranted. The commission asked Willingham to leave contact information so staff could follow up; staff indicated they would examine counts and potential time-of-day restrictions.

The exchange did not result in a formal commission motion; staff described the follow-up as administrative action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oklahoma City Traffic and Transportation Commission - July 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident urged the commission to address recurring left-turn congestion at Southwest 30th Street and Walker Avenue; staff said turn restrictions and time‑of‑day controls are handled administratively and offered further follow-up.","taxTitle","Other Public Meetings, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma","taxId",69689,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6161070,"Commission approves removal of traffic signal at Lynnwood and Indiana as city begins signal-review program",966,1799000,2765000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5445099-f1837f9b2f974f568acd086fb1dea11d&start=1799&end=2765","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5445099-f1837f9b2f974f568acd086fb1dea11d/thumbnail_1799000.jpg","/articles/6161070/Oklahoma/Commission-approves-removal-of-traffic-signal-at-Lynnwood-and-Indiana-as-city-begins-signal-review-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161070-cb71a9d80d3337911dae39737d64e3f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771065104&Signature=QdzzUbYE3QCjoYC3ukeTli-RX3LVncMCIMlG29i7jCTtbxqeB-~EWipILvMXMyCX6pAKGuIkPcBQ3GSHg6Of~vXIsZjUhOT88H0SUwnB1Cra89-cMNOZa-es017nrN-TlVInTO2h3iwQoZSJjDfrfSLYU4gZ0HHhKCnvkcZyW6VZche~kkMc6C0xRqPdgH4PEgsZrervllBziFgFPCRvVS9KWixFZg-mEj6~fkfSyIV1XNPOPuqcqoviPpbBlbcghk4thT5qYor886KQmdL2IU5Ev1khXhE9dqzmFrlGRKBlHleFNe8a1VFBJSV1Pxq~jiLf5zV49jzVLRmhE2aozA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Traffic and Transportation Commission on July 21 approved a staff request to remove the traffic signal at Lynnwood Boulevard and Indiana Avenue and replace it with north–south stop control on Indiana Avenue.

Brandon Bundy, assistant public works director, told the commission the removal is linked to an upcoming street project that will require reconfiguring the intersection and that Lynnwood’s traffic volumes have declined since the construction of I‑40 rerouting and the Boulevard. \"We feel that Lynnwood has a lot less traffic than it used to be,\" Bundy said.

Traffic Services Division staff presented a warrant analysis under MUTCD criteria and reported the intersection failed to meet any signal warrants and did not meet criteria for all‑way stop. Staff recommended north–south stop control on Indiana so Lynnwood Boulevard would retain right of way. Staff reported Lynnwood carries about 2,500 vehicles per day and Indiana about 1,900.

Commissioner Martinez moved approval of the removal; Commissioner Karnes seconded. The motion passed 7-0.

Staff described a preliminary, citywide review of older signals using a combination of departmental counts and third‑party data to identify candidates for removal. The department said it expects to evaluate locations one-by-one and does not anticipate removing more than about 10 signals in the near term; officials emphasized most candidates are older intersections in underutilized or redeveloping industrial areas. Staff also noted salvageable equipment may remain in cabinets but maintaining unwarranted signals adds operational and capital costs.

Planning staff said the Lynnwood work is part of a broader street enhancement project that includes resurfacing, sidewalks and bike lanes, and that planning and public works coordinate outreach on such projects. Several commissioners urged staff to ensure robust neighborhood and business canvassing before removal, noting some signals may have a history of citizen requests or local conditions not apparent in the warrant data. Staff said turn-restriction decisions and some outreach are handled administratively and offered to increase outreach and documentation for future removals.

The commission’s approval authorizes the traffic-control change; staff will schedule sign changes and follow project construction and outreach.","The commission approved removing the traffic signal at Lynnwood Boulevard and Indiana Avenue and heard staff describe a citywide review to remove outdated or unwarranted signals.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6161076,"Commission lowers speed limit on Southeast 80th corridor after staff speed studies",179,1619000,1798000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5445099-f1837f9b2f974f568acd086fb1dea11d&start=1619&end=1798","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5445099-f1837f9b2f974f568acd086fb1dea11d/thumbnail_1619000.jpg","/articles/6161076/Oklahoma/Commission-lowers-speed-limit-on-Southeast-80th-corridor-after-staff-speed-studies","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161076-4fae613bc2c03c4ff864f5357c689caa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771065104&Signature=fF8t1acPh2wQvbUKkHj4HfmbSsPctvHfgs82BBikfgrkRFERVeqwhwP2mcTw6Rx004CrPRS0W-NnPiMFikVjW1vVh~e-LTNfGd0Tyrz5uMRXXVQlLHuNyIepb8-OLeBrBn346SJrJ3bEu9H6ptuwDn2X5qXHHR-Ko-cxEbq5pjo8Ujkkizxm0H6AO~hOM-S9ZTaifxtM3DbPZNLOA6RQWOe4XfA38fcK8~eicaEgDrQKeqOLOm5lHMlQmH8AcDCB9eGLpRrM5QXU63Q3cuwANsEs4TIS0u8~e6p5mxCQoJrePznh9rbv~72AhKFP3c-WhmzOP3~P5Y~hN7-pjz6fng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Traffic and Transportation Commission on July 21 approved a staff recommendation to establish a consistent 45 mph speed limit along a 3.9-mile corridor of Southeast 80th Street between points west of Eastern Avenue and east of Sooner Road.

Traffic Services Division staff told the commission that a citizen petition requested a reduction on a one-mile segment between Sunny Lane and Bryant Avenue. When staff reviewed adjacent segments they decided the entire urbanizing corridor should be evaluated to set a consistent limit. Using both a standardized field method and a National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) procedure, staff reported an engineering indication of 43–45 mph; the department proposed a 45 mph posted limit.

Commissioner Hale moved approval of the combined three-part item (5B-1, -2 and -3); Commissioner Wynne seconded. The motion passed 7-0.

Staff said the review used current data from the department’s field counts plus analytics from third-party travel-data software and that the city performs roughly 800 traffic counts annually on a rotating basis. The commission also heard that the most recent speed‑cushion installation in the area occurred in mid‑June.

The commission’s action sets the posted speed limits administratively; staff said they will continue to monitor conditions and answer follow-up inquiries.","The Traffic and Transportation Commission approved a recommendation from staff to set a consistent 45 mph speed limit on a 3.9-mile stretch of Southeast 80th Street, citing engineering studies.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6161081,"Commission approves interim all-way stop at Cemetery Road and SW 20th; signal remains in 2025 GO bond",841,759000,1600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5445099-f1837f9b2f974f568acd086fb1dea11d&start=759&end=1600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5445099-f1837f9b2f974f568acd086fb1dea11d/thumbnail_759000.jpg","/articles/6161081/Oklahoma/Commission-approves-interim-all-way-stop-at-Cemetery-Road-and-SW-20th-signal-remains-in-2025-GO-bond","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161081-0f365c9afd8d266a184b4a232affbb31/orig.mp4?Expires=1771065104&Signature=VN0Bh1poLvuj1DGkxA7KYcsryIlPiqVORn7zQ0jEg7~3Br-YRzczIb1FkeeGlRfPsqoCAE~RZ~h8KzQIFffXANWeVCD6FnEKoDNi7iL--8MoftFdQj-kxEvJEO2RQnc8kkHzruMUrgz7-tq~rVLhYBHHx6oB3u5m9CjeKtaGZ-02D8SWYpURvD-0tEGbkz5wBLU0gy7EFo5YwE8rTJrJ7G2fxKd6~M6M56-W~AT4a6-PoDrj9dUgHJU9cjK8pTCe-A3wPIriLrs1d9ieed7YPDk-AEoD73y5fE4gsVuNeEG1xHYdhnVc3-Nor0HRfcSpITUSdVu2NbBZYT3cHtY3Ug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Traffic and Transportation Commission on July 21 unanimously approved an interim all-way stop at South Cemetery Road and Southwest 20th Street while a permanent traffic signal is planned as part of the city’s proposed 2025 general obligation bond.

The stop-control measure was requested by Cynthia Cycle, a resident of the Belmont Crossing Addition, who said traffic along Cemetery Road has increased over 25 years and called the corridor “a speedway.” Cycle told the commission the road’s 55 mph limit and periodic passing lanes make turning onto Cemetery Road hazardous for neighborhood drivers.

Traffic Services Division staff said the Cemetery Road/SW 20th intersection appears on the department’s list of unfunded signals and is color-coded in the commission memo. “The projects in red are in the traffic proposition,” staff said, and noted those projects are included in the proposed 2025 general obligation bond scheduled for an October 14 vote. Staff told commissioners the signal at SW 20th and Cemetery passed through earlier technical review and that an all-way stop is an allowable interim control under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices while funding and plans for a signal are finalized.

Commissioner Karnes moved approval of the all-way stop; Commissioner Varnell seconded. The motion passed on a 7-0 vote.

Staff discussed timing: bond proceeds are typically sold incrementally over several years, historically taking about a decade to fully obligate for a very large package. That schedule, and separate committees that manage project phasing, will determine when a permanent signal would be constructed. Planning staff said the Cemetery Road work is anticipated as a streetscape/roadway proposition and may involve federal-aid funds overseen through the state and Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) for allocation.

The commission’s approval is limited to interim traffic control. The permanent signal remains contingent on project scheduling and funding in the proposed bond program. Staff offered to answer follow-up questions and said they would track the item as the bond and related federal-state approvals progress.","The Traffic and Transportation Commission unanimously approved an interim all-way stop at South Cemetery Road and Southwest 20th Street while the city continues to fund a permanent signal through a proposed 2025 general obligation bond.","actionData","errors"]
