The Roads and Bridges Department of Shelby County Government is
responsible for maintaining all roads and bridges in unincorporated
Shelby County, TN.
Improvement:
The Traffic Control Section of the Roads and Bridges Department
provides the traveling public safety warning devices such as signage
and pavement markings for all roads and bridges in unincorporated
Shelby County, TN. In the last two and one-half years, the Traffic
Controllers Team, a Quality Circle group, has developed specialized
training, inventory control, improved work scheduling, service
traffic improvements, and invented two new tools. The team developed
a light weight and simple-to-operate hand tool which mounts to the
base of a traffic sign post and is used to straighten the post.
Approximately 1,000 sign posts are salvaged annually with a savings
of $25,000 to the county.
