The Town of North Judson has now finalized signs specifying
where trucks can travel.
Town Council members approved an ordinance earlier this year
creating a route that commercial trucking vehicles can travel while within the
town limits. The ordinance not only helps prevent traffic issues, but also
helps maintain the quality of North Judson’s roads.
Clerk-Treasurer Donna Henry says some of the signs were put
up earlier in the year.
“We have several signs throughout the thoroughfare of
Highway 10, you know, and on some residential streets it says: no trucks, or
whatever,” says Henry. “But then we’ve got directional signs for where the
truck route actually is.”
It was reported during this week’s meeting by Town Marshall
Doug Vessely that the final signs specifying the route have been installed.
The route largely travels to the industrial area of North
Judson. Other businesses receiving products from commercial truck traffic are
expected to only travel to the point nearest to the business and then use the
local roads.
Henry says the signs also specify which industrial areas the
trucks are traveling to.
“We’ve put up a couple of signs that indicate: Industrial
Park or American Oak so that the truck drivers know ‘okay this is the route to
take me there’,” says Henry.
Other signs have been installed detailing where residential
neighborhoods are located and that truck traffic is disallowed from traveling.
No action was taken by the North Judson Town Council.
