Speed Limit, Stop Signs Approved

New stop signs will soon be going up at intersections in Opportunity and Newman Lake and new speed limit signs will be erected along roads in the Liberty Lake area.

Stop signs will be added at the intersection of McDonald and Saltese and at the intersection of Moffat and Idaho roads.

Speed limit signs will be placed along Country Vista Drive, Mission Avenue and Molter Road.

The new signs should begin appearing within the next 10 days. Spokane County Commissioners on Tuesday approved placement of the signs.

A pair of stop signs will be added to the intersection of McDonald and Saltese in Opportunity to make it a four-way stop.

“Traffic volumes are about equal (in all directions),” said Verrill Smale, an engineering administrator for the county. “People were getting impatient on McDonald and taking some chances.

At Moffat and Idaho near Newman Lake, a stop sign will stop drivers on Moffat.

In the Liberty Lake area, 35-mph speed limits signs will be posted along Country Vista, Mission and Molter.

A speed limit needed to be posted, Smale said, because the last sections of these roads are just getting finished. “With more of a development, we needed a little better control,” Smale said.
