🚧🚧 Route 75 - Rock City Rd 4-Way Stop Update 🚧🚧
Good afternoon residents and surrounding community members,
Today I received a follow up phone call from the lead project engineer for this intersection project. He let me know that IDOT has heard us and our concerns and they have added additional safety measures to the intersection project. Originally, I was told that there would be (On Hwy 75) permanent flashing stop ahead signs before cars get to the intersection, as well as flashing LED screens notifying drivers of the upcoming change in traffic, which would be temporary for the first three months. The permanent additions they have added to the project include: flashing beacons on the stop signs as well as rumble strips on Hwy 75 on the west side of the intersection. The permanent flashing stop ahead signs before the intersection will also be implemented from the original project plans. There will not be rumble strips on the east side of Hwy 75. The reasoning behind this was the noise of the strips behind village homes, drivers will be coming out of a reduced speed limit zone, visibility is much better and there will be several flashing beacons to alert them of the stop. He thought we would see this change as early as November.
