Hopkins County court asks TxDOT for speed study and signal upgrades on Highways 19 and 154
Summary
The Commissioners’ Court unanimously approved a resolution Nov. 25 requesting the Texas Department of Transportation conduct a speed study and consider traffic-signal improvements on Highway 19 and Highway 154 following increased traffic north of town.
The Hopkins County Commissioners’ Court on Nov. 25 approved a resolution requesting the Texas Department of Transportation conduct a speed study and consider traffic-signal improvements on Highway 19 and Highway 154.
Judge Robert Newsom moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Wesley Miller seconded. The minutes state the request responds to an increase in traffic north of town and that a copy of the resolution is attached to the meeting record.
The resolution asks TxDOT to study speeds and evaluate whether traffic-signal improvements are warranted at locations on the two highways. The minutes do not list specific intersections or provide a timeline for the study; they note only that the resolution and an attached copy were made part of the record.
The court recorded the motion as carried unanimously with one commissioner absent. Any subsequent action — such as TxDOT scheduling a study, a county follow-up, or planned changes to traffic control — is not recorded in the minutes.
