DISCUSSION
In August 1999, staff received a citizen request regarding the number of accidents at the intersection of
Spur 580 and Horseshoe Trail Staff reviewed accident records in the area as part of the analysis and
concluded that a need existed to better notify motorists of the presence of the intersection of Spur 580
and Horseshoe Trail This was especially true for eastbound motorists on Spur 580 exiting IH-30 and
traveling above the posted speed limit of the roadway Staff proposed a project to install a warning
flasher across the subject intersection (location map attached)
City staff submitted the project to TxDOT staff for consideration under a federally funded program to
eliminate potential roadway hazards TxDOT staff concurred with the proposed installation of a warning
flasher and issued an agreement for advance funding
The agreement with TxDOT provides 100% of the project funding under the Safety Hazard Elimination
(SHE) Program This program provides 90% federal funding for selected projects. Since this project is
on astate-maintained facility, TxDOT will cover the required 10% local match The proposed warning
flasher will be designed and constructed by City forces with the expenses paid through the SHE
Program
