Resolution slows traffic near new school site
September 9, 2021
Reduced speed limit signs, with flashing lights, will warn traffic traveling near the new Summerland School site, to slow down.
Antelope County Commissioners approved a resolution to the effect during Tuesday's meeting, in Neligh.
Speed limit signs, slowing traffic to 35 miles per hour, have been placed at four spots, 200 feet in each direction, from the intersection of 857th (Summerland) Road and 513 Avenue. Commissioner Dean Smith asked if flashing lights have been
installed.
Boggs said, "They have been on order since July. Apparently they are shipped out." The road superintendent is hopeful they will arrive within the next week.
Boggs told the board the resolution and signs dictate where the school zone begins.
The school zone will be in effect only when lights are flashing, which includes during school hours, according to Boggs.
He distributed state statutes regarding speed limit zones.
"This gives us backbone for the signs that are up," Boggs said.
Highway superintendent Brian McDonald signed off on the resolution; however Antelope County Attorney Joe Abler had not responded.
