Board approves no-semi-truck signs on five roads; resident asks to add New Buckeye Road and a caller urges lighting at a dangerous intersection
Summary
Commissioners approved signs prohibiting semi-trucks on five county roads; during public comment Veatrice Rozier asked that New Buckeye Road also be added, and Will Rajnay said the Hwy 80 and bypass intersection needs security lights because it is dangerous at night.
The Laurens County Board of Commissioners voted to place signs prohibiting semi-trucks on Blackshear Ferry Road, Marie Church Road, Country Club Road, Harry Green Road, and Chappell Mill Road at the May 5 meeting.
County Administrator Bryan Rogers recommended the restriction; Chairman Jimmy Rogers moved to place the signs and Commissioner Kevin Tanner seconded. The motion carried with all commissioners voting in favor. During citizens comments, Veatrice Rozier asked the board to also put New Buckeye Road on the no-semi-truck list: "I would like for New Buckeye Road to also be put on the no semi-truck list." Another commenter, Will Rajnay, said the intersection at Hwy 80 and the bypass needs security lights because it is dangerous at night: "The intersection at Hwy 80 and the bypass needed some security lights because it is dangerous at night." The transcript records those requests but does not show a recorded board response or formal action to add New Buckeye Road or to add lighting at the intersection.
