After crash data, commission keeps College Street 4‑way stops and asks for golf‑cart rule changes
Summary
Chief Newsome told the commission there were three wrecks since installation of 4‑way stop signs on College Street, down from 12 in the prior 17‑month span; commissioners agreed to keep the signs and asked staff to raise the golf‑cart age limit and identify streets where carts would be prohibited.
The Cedartown City Commission reviewed recent traffic data on College Street and agreed to keep the newly installed 4‑way stop signs in place. Chief Newsome reported that "Since the stop signs have been in place there have been 3 wrecks," compared with 12 wrecks during the 17 months before the signs were installed; commissioners concluded the signs should remain.
City Manager Edward Guzman read the list of streets where golf carts are currently allowed and said staff will return with recommendations to raise the minimum age for golf cart operation and a list of streets where golf carts would be prohibited. The transcript records the Commission asking for those policy changes but does not record a formal ordinance or new rule at this meeting. Any regulatory change would require staff analysis and, if necessary, formal action in a subsequent meeting.
