Bay Minette Area Roads
A look at the area roads of the Baldwin County seat of Bay Minette. For coverage of the U.S. and State Routes, see the following guides:
D'Olive Street
D'Olive Street originally ended at Shehan Lane just west of the Bay Minette city line. Construction in 2006 extended the road west to Alabama State Route 225 near the community of Carpenter.
D'Olive Street travels over rolling hills with a 55 mph speed limit from SR 225 to a point south of Bay Minette Municipal Airport.

Just south of the airport, D'Olive Street nears Honeycutt Creek and sees a speed limit drop to 25 mph. The two lane road remains vastly rural to Dobson Avenue in Bay Minette.

Hand Avenue continues south from Courthouse Square and SR 287 to a CSX Railroad crossing and Stanmeyer Street. A set of old traffic lights hang above the intersection with 1st Street.

Northbound Hoyle Avenue at the intersection with U.S. 31 (D'Olive Street). County Road 57 ends as U.S. 31 prepares to enter Courthouse Square to the left.
02/08/06
One traffic light per direction hangs above the Hoyle Avenue (County Road 57) intersection with 1st Street outside of Courthouse Square in downtown Bay Minette. Both roads are lightly traveled, though Hoyle Avenue doubles as CR 57 south to industrial businesses south of the CSX Railroad line.
06/06/06
A set of Crouse Hinds signals hang above the intersection of 1st Street and Hand Avenue, just south of Courthouse Square in downtown Bay Minette. These signals were in full operation at the time of these photos, but were turned into flash mode in 2010.
03/20/09
1st Street eastbound at Hoyle Avenue (County Road 57). 1st Street ends five blocks ahead and basically carries just local traffic between McMillan Avenue and Hoyle Avenue.

Closer views of the signals at 1st Street and Hand Avenue in Bay Minette. The four-way signals are Crouse Hinds type D's; the single face signals are Crouse Hinds type M's.
