During the Knox City Council meeting on Tuesday, Council President Don Kring revisited an issue he discussed during the last council meeting. He asked the council to consider looking into painting a dotted line on Culver road, at the stop light located at the intersection of Main St.
Kring said the road there is wide enough where it should allow individuals turning left to be on one side, while people going straight forward can continue driving. An issue arises when people are stopped at the stop light in the center of the road. If the driver at the front of the line is turning left, that means all drivers must wait until they’ve turned before they can continue driving.
Kring said he believes people don’t realize the road is big enough to allow for both turning and going straight. He suggested painting the dotted line down the middle of the road starting back by Pearl St. to alert drivers that there are two lanes. This fix would clear up any confusion about whether the road is big enough and save time, especially for parents dropping off students in the morning.
No decisions were made during the meeting but the council members acknowledged the validity of his suggestion.
