Martin Road is on track to get a traffic study that will start the process of slowing traffic on the residential road in South Hall. The Hall County Board of Commissioners signaled early support during its Monday work session for a $30,000 study by Wilburn Engineering. The traffic study must be performed before the county can alter the flow of traffic with stop signs or speed tables on the road between Falcon Parkway/Ga. 13 and Winder Highway/Ga. 53. If approved during the commission’s Thursday voting meeting, the study would begin in early September to give school traffic time to smooth out, Public Works and Public Utilities Director Ken Rearden told the commission on Monday, and it would last 10 weeks. The engineering firm will analyze the area’s speed limit, evaluate traffic safety using crash data and sight distance, investigate the intersections along the roadway and recommend potential “traffic calming” measures, according to a report from Hall County Public Works.
