Safety Discussion
Shine intersection: DOT is studying the history of accidents and other factors. The speed limit at this intersection has been reduced to 45 mph. DOT is looking at a possible All Way Stop or modify the Flashing Yellow Lights at this intersection when there is a vehicle entering the intersection from Shine Road or Free Gospel Road. Brandon Sutton made a motion to try the Flashing Yellow Lights when traffic is entering the intersection and Commissioner Shackleford seconded this motion. The voting members carried this motion. The committee then recommends this be taken to the Greene County Board of Commissioners for approval. Commissioner Shackleford said he would take this to the Board.
Jason Community: NC903 the speed limit has been reduced from 55 to 50 to 45 and then it goes back to 50 and then 55 mph.
DOT has approved Two All Way Stops and work will begin in late Spring.
- NC91 Intersection of Firetower Road and Meadow Road
- NC91 Intersection of Speights Bridge Road and Fieldsboro Road
The DOT has made safety improvements at intersection of Four Way and Ormondsville Roads and they will continue to monitor it to see if the accident rate continues to reduce.
