Summary: Investigated Location

Details
The Transportation Engineering Division (TED) in Public
Works Department (TPW) is responsible for installing and maintaining traffic
control devices along City of Austin streets, which can include signs and
markings as per the Texas Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) guidelines.

TED will explore the feasibility of installing two median
islands with vertical posts on Childress Drive near its intersection with
Kendal Drive. Median islands separate opposing directions of traffic and narrow
the width of the roadway, inducing drivers to reduce their speed. Also, TED will install a curve warning sign
on Childress Drive in advance of this intersection.

Thank you again for contacting the City of Austin. Safety is
our number one priority. If you should have any questions or would like to
discuss this issue further, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Daniel Wheat,
Graduate Engineer, at 512-974-7614 or via email at daniel.wheat@austintexas.gov .
