Traffic
Signal Coming to Sledge Road and 160
(July
1, 2004)
Tom Thrower, Division Traffic Engineer with the North Carolina
Department of Transportation, has conducted a study of the
intersection of Sledge Road and NC Highway 160 (Steele Creek Road)
and has recommended a traffic signal and turn lanes on both Sledge
Road and Highway 160-
A design
and cost estimate are being prepared. Once these are completed,
funds will be requested. "Until funds are approved it is difficult
to forecast installation date. It may be as late as next spring."
Mr. Thrower said
The traffic study
was initiated after local residents complained about how dangerous
the intersection was. If you have questions concerning this
intersection or other public roads outside the Charlotte city limits
or if you would like to encourage a speedy installation of this
traffic signal, contact Tom Thrower at 704-982-0101 or
tthrower@dot.state.nc.us.
Direct
questions about roads within the Charlotte city limits to the
Charlotte Department of Transportation at 704-336-3893.
