Commissioners discuss realigning Pole Line Road to address safety at Highway 40 intersection
Summary
County commissioners described safety risks where two intersections sit close together on Pole Line Road and Highway 40 in Roosevelt and said they are pursuing property acquisition to reroute truck traffic toward the signalized intersection; UDOT favors restricting one of the existing intersections.
Commissioner Greg Miles said county staff and UDOT have flagged a safety problem where two intersections on Pole Line Road sit very near each other and heavy truck traffic is using at least three different routes through the area. He said the county is attempting to acquire property to reroute local traffic so more vehicle movements line up with the traffic light intersection.
Miles described UDOT’s preference to restrict one of the two closely spaced intersections and said coordination with the state agency is ongoing. No specific acquisition timetable or parcel details were provided at the meeting. The item was raised during routine business and next steps described were continued coordination with UDOT and seeking property to enable the reroute.
