Brevard to post signs enforcing Jake-braking ban; public drop-in set for Sept. 25 on traffic calming
Summary
City staff say signs alerting truck drivers to an ordinance banning Jake braking have been ordered and will be posted on arrival; a public drop-in session on Sept. 25 at the Mary C Jenkins Community Center will gather feedback on traffic-calming ideas in the Rosenwald area.
Presenter summarized several traffic and public-safety items at the monthly meet-the-mayor recap, saying signs to inform truck drivers about the city ordinance prohibiting Jake braking have been ordered and “will be posted upon arrival.”
The Presenter said residents have reported speeding on multiple streets, including Main Street, which is maintained by the state. The city brings concerns about state-maintained roads to its N.C. DOT representative and referred speeding and safety matters to the public safety committee for review at its monthly meetings.
To gather local input on possible traffic-calming treatments, city staff will host a public drop-in session on Sept. 25 at the Mary C Jenkins Community Center focused on the Rosenwald area. The Presenter urged residents to attend and share specific locations and experiences so staff can evaluate potential measures.
The city did not provide an ordinance number or a timeline for when the ordered Jake-braking signs will be installed; the Presenter said only that they will be posted once they arrive.
