JACKSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The Clermont County Engineer’s Office has installed a new stop sign on northbound Locust Street at its intersection with Monterey Road, and Jackson Township officials are urging drivers to use caution while the area adjusts to the change.
The sign requires vehicles traveling north on Locust Street to stop before crossing Monterey Road, the township said in a social media post. Traffic traveling south on Monterey Road does not stop at the intersection, meaning the crossing is not a four-way stop and drivers on Locust Street must still watch for vehicles on Monterey Road even after coming to a stop.
The Clermont County Engineer’s Office, led by County Engineer Jeremy Evans, oversees highway operations across the county, including sign installation and maintenance, pavement markings and road repairs, according to the office. The office has said that damaged or missing stop signs are treated as a high priority because of the safety risk they pose to drivers.
Jackson Township sits in the northeastern part of Clermont County and had about 3,089 residents as of the 2020 U.S. Census, spread across roughly 31.4 square miles. The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees — Joe Speeg, Rob Doyle and Shane Garr — along with Fiscal Officer Holly Isaacs and Administrator Denise Maklem. The unincorporated community of Marathon lies within the township’s eastern area.
