Farragut planning commission approves traffic signal at Loop Road and Concord Road
Summary
The Farragut Municipal Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve a new traffic signal at the northern intersection of Loop Road (SR 332) and Concord Road to improve left-turn movements and create gaps in northbound traffic during peak hours.
The Farragut Municipal Planning Commission unanimously approved a proposal to install a traffic signal at the northern intersection of Loop Road (State Route 332) and Concord Road during its June 19, 2025 meeting.
Town staff presented the plan, saying the two‑lane Loop Road approach would make left turns onto Concord Road easier and would create gaps in northbound traffic during peak periods, improving access for nearby neighborhoods such as Concord Hills and Barrett Hills Boulevard.
Staff noted the layout is similar to the signal at Municipal Center Drive and Campbell Station and recommended approval as presented. Commissioners had a brief exchange about whether the new signal would affect the nearby roundabout; staff said the signal is “far enough away” and that substantial roadway exists between the two intersections.
A commissioner moved to approve the installation as presented, the motion was seconded and the vote was unanimous. The commission did not receive any public comment on the item at the meeting.
The approval clears the planning‑level review; implementation details, including exact signal timing and construction scheduling, were not specified in the transcript.
