Spencer, IA (KICD)– Those traveling through a portion of South Spencer will notice some changes coming to road markings.

Iowa Department of Transportation Engineer Daikin Schultz tells KICD News one of the main points of focus is on 11th Avenue Southwest at 13th Street because it has been identified an intersection with a high crash rate.

Some attention is also being paid to the intersection of 11th Street Southwest and 7th Avenue by McDonald’s and Arby’s down to the four-way stop.

A separate study on virtually the same stretch of road involved lowering the speed limit from 45 miles per hour to 40 as another interim fix in the area until a more long-term solution that may include a series of roundabouts can be designed and constructed.
