Kanosh approves up to $2,000 for radar speed and child‑safety signage on 3rd South
Summary
The council agreed to spend up to $2,000 to install radar speed‑feedback signs and 'children at play' signage on 3rd South/Canyon Road and indicated it will try removing some stop signs and monitor effects; funding to come from the streets budget.
The Kanosh Town Council approved spending of up to $2,000 to purchase radar speed‑feedback signs and supplemental signage for 3rd South (Canyon Road) to improve traffic safety.
S6 proposed buying two radar feedback signs — one facing east, one west — paired with a 'children at play' message after citing research that people respond more when a reason is provided. The suggested procurement included solar‑powered radar units and standard signs; S6 proposed a not‑to‑exceed $2,000 allocation from the street budget.
"My hope was that maybe what we could do is say, let's consider maybe $2,000," S6 said. A motion to approve up to $2,000 for speed and traffic‑control signage on 3rd South was moved and seconded; the council approved the motion by voice vote.
Councilors also discussed temporarily removing stop signs on the same stretch to see whether the radar signs affect driver behavior. The sheriff’s office representative (S11) confirmed the county can provide and place radar signs in problem areas on request.
