County authorizes no-through-semi signage on local roads and asks Toyota to encourage vendors to use state routes
Summary
Commissioners authorized the highway department to post no-through-semi-truck signs on specified local roads and requested Toyota encourage its vendors to use state routes rather than county roads.
Gibson County commissioners authorized the highway department to post "no through semi truck" signage on specified local routes after staff proposed the change during a continuation of a discussion from a prior meeting.
County staff described a proposed sign location east of 100 South and referenced stretches of road near 350 East. Commissioners also formally asked Toyota representatives present to encourage their vendors to use state routes when possible rather than county roads; Toyota indicated it already had instructed drivers to avoid certain local roads but noted it cannot control every vendor GPS routing choice.
A motion to authorize the highway department to post the signage carried with ayes recorded; meeting remarks did not include a roll-call tally. Staff said formal posting of signs requires highway-department action and the board's authorization was the necessary step.
