The Richland County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Nov. 4 to add a four‑way stop and rumble strips at the intersection of County Road 81 and County Road 2 following a county traffic study.
Jesse Sedler told the board the county completed a five‑year crash history for the intersection as part of the traffic study and recommended the changes to improve safety. Commissioner Nathan Berseth moved for the installation; Commissioner Terry Goerger seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
The approved treatment directs installation of a four‑way stop and rumble strips on the north, south and east approaches. The transcript does not specify a contractor or implementation timeline; county highway staff will manage the installation as part of routine road work.
Sedler also reported increased truck traffic in the area and said the Sheriff’s Department has been providing support for traffic control while work proceeds. The board’s action was limited to authorizing the engineering/installation measures; no funding source beyond routine county highway accounts was specified in the meeting record.
