Bee County OKs supplemental TxDOT agreement to install 'No Engine Braking' signs
Summary
Commissioners approved a supplemental agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to place 'no engine braking' signs at specified intersections and directed Road & Bridge to coordinate with local TxDOT engineers on GPS locations and installation.
Bee County Commissioners Court voted June 8 to approve a supplemental element to a master multiple‑use agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to install 'No Engine Braking' highway signs at specified locations.
A commissioner explained the supplemental agreement authorizes TxDOT and county Road & Bridge to coordinate on sign placement and that the county will purchase signs to be affixed to existing posts. The two planned locations discussed were the intersection of Highway 623 and 673 in Mineral and a location on Highway 181 (State Route 202).
Commissioners asked staff to confirm form language (the draft the county received referenced another county office) and directed Road & Bridge staff to work with local TxDOT engineers to complete GPS siting and installation. The motion to approve passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Next step: Road & Bridge to confirm language with TxDOT, purchase signs, and coordinate installation at the agreed locations.
