Board considers second reading to add all-way stop and reduce speed limit on 210th Street after crash history
Summary
County staff requested a second reading to amend the traffic code to add all-way stop signs and enhanced safety features at 210th Street and Jersey Ridge Road and to reduce the speed limit from 55 to 45 mph in a nearby segment; staff cited traffic studies, eight intersection-related crashes and one fatality in support.
County traffic engineers asked the Board of Supervisors to approve a second reading of a traffic-code amendment aimed at improving safety on 210th Street and the intersection with Jersey Ridge Road.
The proposal includes installing an all-way stop with enhanced safety features at that intersection and reducing the posted speed limit from 55 mph to 45 mph between Scott Park Road and the Crow Creek Bridge. Staff cited engineering warrants, traffic studies showing high vehicle speeds and volumes, a documented crash history of eight intersection-related crashes and one fatality as the basis for the changes. Public information signs are planned for the intersection and a news release will be issued to notify drivers of the changes.
Supervisors had no substantive objections in the transcript excerpt; speakers thanked the presenter and moved to the next item.
Next steps: the item proceeded as a second reading on the agenda; staff said informational signage would be placed and a public notice issued before the change takes effect.
