Court approves adding stop signs at CR 1137 and Orange Creek Road to improve safety
Summary
Commissioners approved replacing a yield sign with stop signage at a curve on CR 1137 at Orange Creek Road after concerns that motorists are running the existing yield and creating hazards for emergency response.
Unidentified Speaker 3 raised a safety concern about the intersection of County Road 1137 and Orange Creek Road, noting a yield sign at a curve where vehicles often do not slow and emergency calls have been involved. The speaker asked the court to install stop signs to force traffic to stop rather than yield.
Commissioners agreed the yield should be converted to stop signage for greater clarity and safety at that curve. Speaker 3 moved to place stop signs at the location to slow eastbound and southbound traffic; the motion carried by voice consent.
Road and bridge staff will handle signage installation and any necessary follow-up evaluations for additional traffic-calming measures.
