Ellis County approves stop‑signs for growing cut‑through traffic in residential neighborhood
Summary
After a public hearing with no speakers, the commissioners unanimously approved installing stop signs at three intersections in Precinct 4 to address increased traffic volumes and safety concerns.
The Commissioners Court unanimously approved installation of stop signs at three neighborhood intersections in Road & Bridge Precinct 4 after a brief staff presentation explaining traffic increases on cut‑through routes. Zach (county staff) told the court vehicle counts in the area have risen from roughly 1,200 to about 3,500 vehicles per day and could approach 5,000 in the near future; commissioners said the stop signs are a preemptive step to reduce risk at blind curves.
No members of the public signed up to speak during the public hearing. Commissioner Butler moved for installation and Commissioner Ponder seconded; the motion passed without opposition.
