The Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 on Nov. 20 to authorize installation of stop signs, painted stop bars and advance warning signs at the intersection of Jones Lane and Old Nashville Road.

Engineering staff told the board their review — including a site visit and measurements — found sight distances in both directions that do not meet AASHTO intersection sight‑distance standards for a 30 mph minor approach; staff emphasized that the MUTCD guidance discourages using stop signs primarily as a speed control device but recommended stop control because sight distance requirements were not met for safe turning movements. The engineering presentation noted 0 recorded crashes at the intersection in county crash records for the prior three years but flagged obstructed sight lines and seasonal vegetation as contributing factors.

Commissioner Hall moved approval and Vice Mayor McDonald seconded. The clerk recorded the vote as aye from all five commissioners. Public Works/Engineering will implement the installation in conformance with MUTCD standards and report back when complete.

Ending: Public Works has been tasked with signage and pavement marking installation; the Board recorded the action as Resolution 54‑25 and closed discussion on the item.
