Oak Hill Road Safety Improvements
Oak Hill Road at Ingram Road recently received a new traffic signal, courtesy of the Public Works Department! To enhance this improvement to this "T" intersection as well as other portions of Oak Hill Road, Vision Zero SA and the Transportation Department will be:
- Installing a flashing "Stop Here on Red" sign and vegetation at the intersection at Ingram Road and Oak Hill Road
- Adding additional signs to help direct traffic flow at Ingram Road & Culebra Road
- Re-striping portions of Oak Hill Road
- Installing a four-way stop with complete crosswalks at Oak Hill Road and Viva Max Drive to increase safety for students and parents near Linton Elementary school
PROJECT SCHEDULE:
Construction begins: March 10, 2025
Completion: June 2025*
*Weather permitting
Drivers should expect delays during construction.
OAK HILL: A brief interruption to normal traffic operations will occur during restriping as our truck drives between War Arrow and Culebra.
INGRAM RD: One westbound lane may be closed along Ingram during construction to allow safe working space for our crews at the intersection during working hours.
Improvements at Viva Max and Oak Hill are expected to be completed during the week of Spring Break.

Background
Over a five-year period, the intersection of Oak Hill Road at Ingram Road has been the site of 37 vehicle crashes. Improvements are being proposed primarily at the Ingram Road and Culebra Road intersections to improve safety for all users.
In 2023, the Transportation Department performed a Safety Assessment and speed study to determine improvement options.
In 2024, the Public Works Department secured funding to upgrade the signal and install signs through the Highway Safety Improvement Program in partnership with TxDOT.
In 2024, the Transportation Department secured funding to complete the intersection improvements at Ingram Road. The project also includes funds to refresh pavement markings and install additional warning signs near the Culebra Road intersection.
Safety Improvements
The Transportation Department will:
Install end-of-roadway warning signs and plant vegetation on Ingram Road visible to northbound Oak Hill Road Drivers;
Install intersection warning signs on Oak Hill Road approaching Ingram Road;
Install an advanced warning and yield sign on Oak Hill Road approaching the Culebra Road intersection;
Refresh pavement markings along Oak Hill Road between War Arrow Drive and Culebra Road; and
Install a four way stop at Oak Hill Road and Viva Max Drive.
These improvements will compliment recent upgrades to the Ingram Road at Oak Hill Road traffic signal by the Public Works Department and Texas Department of Transportation as well as the pavement markings that were refreshed on Oak Hill Road between Ingram Road and War Arrow Drive.
