These are great questions!
Regarding the I-10 exit ramps. We do know those answers. We’ll see what we can find out.
Regarding the light at Walmart we believe the light at Bob Sikes is probably “the light” for Walmart. That’s the one we use.
We’ll send an email to the Roads department and see what we can find out on these questions.
Will there be a traffic light installed at the exits at both east and west off ramps from
I 10?
Also a light at the Walmart on 331?
