Mayor suggests asking GDOT to rescind all-way stop and lower speed limit on Highway 27/18
Summary
Mayor Mullins said council previously voted to install an all-way stop at SR 1 and SR 18 and suggested contacting GDOT to ask that the all-way stop be rescinded and the Highway 27/18 speed limit be lowered to 25 MPH.
Mayor Mullins told the Feb. 9 work session that on July 14, 2025 the council voted for the Georgia Department of Transportation to install an all-way stop at SR 1 at SR 18. At the Feb. 9 meeting, Mullins suggested the town contact GDOT to ask that the agency rescind the all-way stop plan and consider lowering the speed limit on Highway 27/18 to 25 miles per hour.
The meeting record does not show any formal motion or vote on contacting GDOT; the suggestion was noted during the work session discussion. The record does not include GDOT response, engineering studies, or traffic-speed data; those would be required before the town could expect a change to posted limits or signalization.
Next steps were not recorded in the minutes; the item was discussed as part of general town business during the work session.
