Share a progress update, thank your supporters, or ask for help... Thank you to everyone who has supported this petition and helped bring attention to the safety concerns at the Weymouth Rd / Stony Hill Rd (Rt. 606) intersection. At tonight’s Hinckley Township Trustee Meeting (March 17, 2026 at 6:30 PM), the agenda includes discussion of a resident request for an ODOT traffic study. This confirms that the Township is aware of the concerns raised by residents and that the issue is now being formally discussed at the Trustee level. A traffic study is a step forward, but it is not the same as a Road Safety Audit (RSA). Traffic studies focus primarily on volume and speed data. An RSA evaluates real-world safety conditions, including sight lines, intersection geometry, driver behavior, and near-miss conditions. It is important to note that ODOT TIMS crash data only captures reported accidents. It does not include the frequent near-misses that many residents witness at this intersection. We continue to respectfully request a formal Road Safety Audit (RSA) conducted by ODOT or qualified traffic safety engineers. This review should evaluate sight distance limitations, intersection geometry, fixed hazards such as utility pole placement, and driver behavior patterns, and identify practical, cost-effective improvements. If you are able, please consider attending tonight’s meeting at 6:30 PM to show support for a safety-focused review of this intersection. Community presence matters. This is about safety, not development or politics. Residents who live near and travel this intersection every day are asking for a professional safety review before another serious accident occurs. Thank you for your continued support. Paul O’Neill Weymouth Rd Resident
