- Traffic
Visibility
The above item was a concern at the November 8, 1988 City Council
meeting. The following issues were addressed:
Problem: Mayor Duggan had a traffic accident at this
intersection and expressed concern as to safe visibility for
eastbound traffic on Bethel Road.
Solution: Review actual site conditions and Contractor's
Traffic Control Plan.
Problem: Southbound traffic on Denton Tap Road not obeying
30 mph speed limit.
Solution: Checked for proper posting of 30 mph speed limit.
Problem: Southbound traffic not considering intersection
ahead at Bethel Road.
Solution: Intersection ahead sign posted for southbound
traffic on barricades north of Bethel Road.
Problem: Eastbound traffic on Bethel Road was required to
stop at the existing stop sign well back from the traffic on
detours.
Solution: Set temporary stop sign and painted stop bar for
eastbound traffic at the intersection of Bethel Road and the
current detour location of southbound lane of Denton Tap
Road.
These items were brought to the attention of the Contractor on
November 9, 1988. The above solutions were put into effect soon
thereafter and we have recieved no other input from Ci~ Staff or
the Public· ~ ~
