Visibility Problems

A substantial number of residents commented in their survey responses that traffic signs are inadequate, inconspicuous or obscured by foliage or other obstructions. There were also general complaints of foliage and trees blocking views of oncoming traffic. This is a particular problem for vehicles moving onto or across main arterials which have fast moving traffic.

Recommendations

20. Evaluate the need for more traffic signs and install additional signs where appropriate. Work with property owners and county staff to eliminate obstructions obscuring signs from view.

21. Identify specific intersections where poor visibility is a problem and work with property owners and county staff to eliminate hazardous obstructions.
