Larger signs installed; overhead flashing light coming in spring
By Shelley Grieshop
CELINA - Officials hope larger signs and an overhead flashing signal will help reduce accidents at an intersection west of Celina where two drivers were killed last year.
Following the conclusion of a safety study last fall at the junction of state Routes 29 and 118, and Burkettsville-St. Henry Road, the Ohio Department of Transportation enlarged stop signs and Cross Traffic Does Not Stop signs from 36 inches to 48 inches. [More]
