Board reviews six‑year road plan and approves flashing school speed signs on Red House Road
Summary
Public works staff presented Campbell County's secondary six‑year road plan with Tipp Lane listed as the near‑term priority. The board approved a motion to fund flashing school speed signs on Red House Road using unassigned funds.
Public works staff presented the county's secondary six‑year road plan, noting only a small number of unpaved roads remain in the county and identifying Tipp Lane (off Route 601 toward Hat Creek) as the top priority for construction this year.
During discussion, staff raised a separate traffic‑safety item: 25‑mph school zone signs on Red House Road were not being enforced because the existing static signs were not sufficient. A board motion directed staff to move forward using unassigned dollars to install flashing school speed signs in that location, citing a past installation on a similar road that cost roughly $28,000. The motion passed on a board vote.
Supervisors also asked staff to study possible truck restrictions on Riverbend Road after multiple incidents of semis becoming stranded there and to check existing signage on state routes that could redirect trucks. Staff said they would pursue a truck restriction study and return with recommendations.
The six‑year plan will be updated to include Tipp Lane as the anticipated construction candidate for the coming year; public hearings and budget adjustments will follow standard procedures.
