Commission discusses adding a yield sign near Beckman Facility; formal resolution expected next meeting
Summary
Commissioners discussed adding an eastbound yield sign on County Road 313 near the Beckman Facility to address vehicles failing to stop; the board treated the item as discussion only and agreed to draft a resolution for the next meeting.
Clay County commissioners discussed a traffic-safety concern at the intersection near the Beckman Facility (County Roads 313 and 456) and agreed to prepare a formal resolution for consideration at the next meeting.
S2 introduced the safety concern, noting traffic exiting an elevator onto 313 were not stopping and were continuing through the intersection. S2 said, "We need a yield sign going east on 313," and argued this would clarify right-of-way for traffic exiting the elevator. Commissioners and staff compared the existing signage on the north and south corners and discussed how a yield sign could be placed to preserve right-of-way while improving safety. No formal motion or vote was taken; S2 said they would prepare the resolution for the next meeting.
The discussion also touched on current traffic patterns near the elevator and a large material pile used for bridge work; commissioners asked staff to study the intersection and bring proposed signage language and map notations to the next meeting for formal action.
