Mitch Andrews, whose son Cody died in a February crash on State Road 121 asked Union County commissioners Monday to back his push for a center turn lane, saying the state’s proposed fix of larger signs and pavement markings won’t stop rear-end collisions.
“Brake lights don’t stop you,” he said. “That sign ain’t going to stop you.”
Commissioners agreed to send letters urging the Florida Department of Transportation to add turn lanes on SR 121 and on SR 100 at County Road 237. County Coordinator Jimmy Williams said he has already contacted district engineers.
