Prospect Elementary School.CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Bradley County commissioners have asked that the panel’s Road Committee address traffic safety concerns involving Prospect Elementary School and establish guidelines on right-of-way procedures for old, rural roads.
At Monday’s meeting, 1st District Commissioners Ed Elkins and Terry Caywood said they had received a letter about safety around Prospect Elementary. A key concern was the intersection of Freewill Road and Harrison Pike near the school.
Elkins recommended a traffic survey to determine if a traffic signal should be placed there. The intersection has a caution signal.
Caywood said he had watched traffic at the Harrison Pike intersection and saw several cars that went faster than the posted limit.
Another problem, Elkins said, is a curve that obscures the intersection of Prospect School Road and Freewill Road.
