Road engineer outlines road repairs, fleet work and traffic‑count program; clarifies devices are not cameras

Howard County Commissioners Court · August 24, 2026

Summary

Road engineer Bridal Klincic updated commissioners on fleet repairs, upcoming roadway projects and a traffic‑count program using radar/count devices; he emphasized the units do not record images and that data is available under open‑records requests.

Bridal Klincic, the county road engineer, briefed the court on fleet maintenance and roadway projects scheduled for the coming weeks, including work on County Roads 40, 46 and 34 and plans for seal coating. He said some heavy equipment is offsite for repairs and that the county is converting several units for patrol use.

Klincic demonstrated the county’s new traffic‑count devices and stressed they are radar/count units — not cameras — and do not capture images. "So there's no camera in that place... I will know some vehicle went 95 in front of it... but I won't know what did it," he said, describing the device’s speed and volume capabilities. He said counts so far show lower speeds in 2026 than in 2024 and that the program will help staff evaluate appropriate speed limits and maintenance priorities. The engineer also said the program’s data is proprietary to a vendor but that exports are available under open records.
