Commissioners consider turnarounds after Hunters Lane changes as drivers make U-turns on Wolfpack Way
Summary
Commissioners heard that traffic changes on Hunters Lane have reduced some problems but led to U-turns on Wolfpack Way and trapped trailers; Chairman Tim Jones suggested adding a turnaround or roundabout and asked Road Superintendent Toby Ellis to continue discussions with city staff and add needed signage.
Sumner County Highway Commission members flagged safety and traffic-flow concerns after recent changes to Hunters Lane and reported new driver behaviors on nearby Wolfpack Way.
"A lot of parents are happy about the changes that have taken place on Hunters Lane. However they are now complaining about cars doing U-turns on Wolfpack Way and trailers getting stuck and having to go around a different way," Chairman Tim Jones told the commission. Jones asked Road Superintendent Toby Ellis to continue conversations with Scott Langford about longer-term turnaround goals, saying, "Maybe adding a turnaround or round about in the future."
Ellis said the department still has additional signage to install and discussed coordinating with the city. No formal motion or budget was recorded; the discussion was framed as direction to continue conversations and to evaluate signage and potential engineering solutions.
