Resident urges better spacing of speed-limit signs and more lighting on bypass approaches
Summary
Steve Vane, an online resident commenter, urged the DELTA committee to respace 25‑mph signs and add lighting where the new bypass created dark approaches, saying the police traffic-safety officer agreed with his concerns.
Steve Vane joined the meeting online and asked council members to inspect a stretch of roadway where he said speed-limit signs are clustered too closely and where approaches are dark after the bypass opened. "It's my community I'm trying to make safer," he said, urging the town to respace signs and consider lighting improvements to reduce speeding and improve visibility.
Town staff and DelDOT staff agreed to review sign placement and lighting, noting DelDOT approval is required for any installations on state roadways. The town said it would examine signage spacing and consider targeted changes rather than adding more signs indiscriminately.
