Commissioners change truck signage on South Sparta Davisboro Road in 3–1 vote
Summary
The board voted 3–1 to change signage on South Sparta Davisboro Road to allow 'Trucks up to 56,000 lbs.'; Chairman Mel Daniel recorded the lone no vote.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted to change truck signage on South Sparta Davisboro Road to read 'Trucks up to 56,000 lbs.' after discussion of traffic routing and previous signage decisions.
Commissioner Bobby Jackson moved to change the signage; Commissioner Frank Simmons Jr. seconded. The motion passed on a recorded 3–1 vote with Chairman Mel Daniel opposed. (The meeting minutes include an inconsistent phrase that the motion 'passed unanimously'; the recorded member votes indicate a 3–1 result and this article reports the named-member vote breakdown.)
The sign change reverses a prior vote from January that had established 'No Thru Truck' signage for the full length of Sparta Davisboro Road. Commissioners did not specify immediate changes to enforcement or a timetable for replacing signs.
