Traffic
signal
installed
Motorists in Kings Mountain
who have gotten used to stop-
ping for stop signs at the inter-
section of Mountain and
Battleground probably have no-
ticed a new, blinking caution
light.
. That blinking light is serving
as a warning that the DOT’s
new traffic light is in place, and
within about a week the light
will be turned on permanently.
City officials hope the change
will help the traffic flow
through downtown and across
the railroad tracks.
The signalization plan has
been a six-month project by the
City and Department of
Transportation, and is one of
the last intersections on a major
thoroughfare in North Carolina
to be updated with proper rail-
road signalization.
“This was a particular project
that the state has been wanting
to set a priority for for a long
time,” said Kings Mountain
City Manger Jimmy Maney. “To
get this situation straightened
out certainly has taken the lia-
bility away from everyone in-
volved.” ~~
Maney said citizens should
be happy to see the light back in
operation, because they'll be
able to come through the inter-
section without having to wor-
ry about being stopped on the
railroad tracks or having mo-
torists running stop signs.
_. "We have had about 10 acci-
dents down there since the light
came down,” he noted. “This
‘will also help us regulate the
speed of traffic through the
middle of town. Everybody
knows we receive a lot of truck
traffic going in and out of the
mines, and it allows better con-
trol of traffic through town.”
Maney and city and DOT of-
ficials will be meeting again this
week to begin working on
a traffic plan for the proposed
new Senior Center near the in-
tersection of Canterbury Road
and Business 74.
+ Thecity is going to request a
traffic count and study of the
intersection to determine what
kind of signalization is needed
to control the traffic that will be
going in and out of the new se-
nior center.
“We are also looking at low-
ering the speed limit when you
get off I-85 and onto Business 74
so you come over the bridge at
.a reduced rate of speed,”
Maney said.
“Trucks entering highway”
signs may also be erected on
Highway 74 business around
the new Senior Center site.
