Resident requests traffic count and review for a red-light at a hilly intersection
Summary
A resident requested consideration of a traffic signal at an intersection described as on a hill; staff said standard practice is to conduct traffic counts and review crash history against state thresholds before recommending signalization.
A resident asked county staff about the process for requesting a traffic signal at a hilly intersection used near local farms. Staff recommended the typical sequence: order a traffic count, review crash history and evaluate state guidance that sets thresholds for signal installation.
Staff cautioned that the hill and traffic volumes can limit options and said county staff (Dale) will run counts and review accident history to determine whether signalization or enhanced crosswalk signage is recommended. Commissioners said they would take the request and run counts and that answers should be available at the follow-up work session.
