Summary
Chief Bill Weatherly told the council that overall speeds on Highway 34 are down but persistent speeding and failure to yield at the Abner Road/Highway 34 intersection remain a safety concern; Kendel Marshall is the on-call officer.
Chief Bill Weatherly reported departmental updates to the council and said Kendel Marshall is the on-call officer for the department. He told the council that "traffic speeds on 34 are reducing" but that Abner Road continues to present problems with speeding and motorists failing to yield at the stop sign.
Weatherly described the safety scenario at the intersection, noting that "if the automobile on 34 has to hit their break from someone coming from the Stop sign on Abner, the individual at the Stop sign did not properly stop, or 'Yield' to oncoming traffic."
