please install a yield sign for the traffic coming on to 2818. I've seen several people almost get hit because the ramp traffic just merges right in. Archived

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for the information. FM 2818 is a TXDOT roadway and its maintained by TXDOT and not the city. I will forward this concern to the city's traffic engineer that works with TXDOT on roadway issues, projects and concerns. I will post his response here after he speaks with TXDOT.

Thank You,

Neighborhood Services

This concern was forwarded to TxDOT. Whether or not to place signs here is their concern.

From TxDOT: " At this location, this is considered an entrance ramp and TxDOT does not place signs at the ends of entrance ramps where motorists are entering a highway. The entrance ramp from FM 2154 has an acceleration lane along FM 2818 as well."

I am a runner and have almost been hit at this intersection (by someone turning onto 2818 from both north and southbound traffic on more than one occasion. I would like to see more lighting and a crosswalk (on the 2818 side) of this intersection.

From the Assistant Traffic Engineer: "TxDOT has looked at the conditions.
Because the lane downstream of the free right is an acceleration lane, the Texas MUTCD prohibits the use of a THRU TRAFFIC MERGE LEFT sign. Additionally, at this intersection, they would not use a yield sign prior to the crosswalk."
