Court adopts policy letting road foreman approve stop signs in subdivisions
Summary
Spencer County Fiscal Court adopted Resolution No. 3 (FY27) establishing a policy that residents may request stop signs in subdivisions; the county road foreman may approve placements that meet standards and are reasonably necessary.
The Fiscal Court adopted Resolution No. 3, Fiscal Year 2027 Series, which establishes a county policy for placement of stop signs in subdivision roads. Under the resolution, residents may petition for stop signs and the County Road Foreman may approve sign locations that are reasonably necessary and meet county standards.
Judge Travis said the resolution formalizes prior practice and provides a process for homeowners associations and residents to consult with the road foreman; the minutes indicate the resolution was adopted by voice vote on July 20. The resolution text is included in the meeting minutes and states that the policy applies where subdivision roads were previously accepted into the county road system. The Judge noted that if the road foreman and a community cannot agree, the court will consider the matter on a case-by-case basis.
