to be more of a "peaking" problem than an average daily flow; so, <br />he would like to see the Board put something in effect <br />temporarily (6 months or so) to see if it doesn't help reduce the - <br />traffic volumes on that road. <br />Chairman Eggert believed we are in the process of putting up <br />more speed signs. What bothers her is that Route 60 was <br />supposed 'to be the main artery, but people are using this as a <br />bypass just to get off Route 60. Although, she knows staff <br />doesn't like the idea, what she personally favors is a No Left <br />Turn sign, which possibly would break the habit of this street <br />being used as a by-pass for Route 60. <br />Mr. Beuttell stated that people are traveling down that <br />street at 45 mph, which is breaking the law, and he felt possibly <br />there could be some stop signs such as have been placed on Club <br />Drive by the City of Vero Beach.
