Hays puts brakes on new traffic policy

Hays County Commissioners Monday opted to delay action on a possible traffic calming policy in order to gather public opinion on the matter.

Commissioners voted 5-0 for a public hearing in two weeks on the policy, which according to officials would be for use across Hays County.

Jerry Borcherding, Hays County director of transportation, said the policy was crafted in order to create consistency for the installation of traffic humps, speed bumps and tables.
