Laurens County approves no-semi signs for five roads; resident asks to add New Buckeye Road
Summary
Commissioners voted unanimously to place no-semi-truck signage on five roads; a resident later asked the board to also add New Buckeye Road, and another resident asked for security lighting at the Hwy 80/bypass intersection.
The Laurens County Board of Commissioners voted May 5 to place signs prohibiting semi-trucks on five county roads: Blackshear Ferry Road, Marie Church Road, Country Club Road, Harry Green Road and Chappell Mill Road. County Administrator Bryan Rogers recommended the locations and Chairman Jimmy Rogers moved to place the signs; Commissioner Kevin Tanner seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, resident Veatrice Rozier asked the board to add New Buckeye Road to the list of roads restricted to semi-trucks. Another resident, Will Rajnay, said the intersection of Highway 80 and the bypass was dangerous at night and requested security lighting. The transcript does not record an immediate response or a board decision on adding New Buckeye Road or on the lighting request; both items appear as citizen requests recorded during public comment.
The meeting minutes do not specify whether the signage will be enforced by county ordinance, what agency will install the signs, or a timeline for installation.
