Council moves to order stop and speed-limit signs, asks staff to revisit UDOT contacts
Summary
Council voted to obtain stop, speed-limit and a "no engine brake" sign for town entrances and asked staff to follow up with UDOT about previously discussed changes.
The Clawson Town Council voted to obtain new traffic-control signs for the town, including all-stop signs on certain town approaches, speed limit signs and a "no engine brake" sign at both ends of town. Speaker 2 made the motion to order the signs; Speaker 3 seconded it and members recorded affirmative voice responses.
Councilors said the town had previously discussed signage with the Utah Department of Transportation. Speaker 2 noted, "we've already told UDOT, and they just haven't done it yet," and members instructed staff to re-contact the agency and to inventory existing signage around town before placing orders.
The motion covered stop signs, speed-limit signs and slow/children warnings, and the council discussed whether some intersections should be changed from yield signs to full stops. Members also raised concerns about specific problem areas where drivers accelerate after cresting hills and asked staff to check prior correspondence with UDOT and confirm next steps.
Council did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the motion passed by voice. Staff were assigned to compile locations, contact UDOT, and get vendor ordering information for the next meeting.
