BAY MINETTE, Ala. — A traffic light study has been endorsed by the Baldwin County Commission to determine if signals are needed at U.S. Highway 98 and County Road 91.
If the study indicates the signals are needed, the $100,000 installation cost will be shared by the Baldwin County Commission and the Alabama Department of Transportation.
County Maintenance Engineer Frank Lundy said county residents have requested the signal on the state right-of-way road maintained by the state.
The study will include traffic counts, analyzing turning movements and reviewing accident history, Lundy said.
According to county records, the normal cost for installing a traffic signal south of Interstate 10 is $100,000 because mast arms are required.
“Once this data is collected and studied, a determination will be made as to whether a signal is actually warranted,” Lundy said.
