Side-mounted signals
A contractor has been hired to remove the side-mounted traffic signals on Main Street at the intersections of C, D and E streets.
A federal safety grant is paying for 90 percent of the project, which is expected to top $300,000. Sharon Smigielski, public information officer with the Ohio Department of Transportation, said the change is expected to reduce accidents in those intersections by 70 percent.
She said there were 408 accidents in those intersections in a 3-year period.
The side-mounted signals will switch to the standard signals this construction season.
Will you be sorry to see the side-mounted signals go or have you had one too many close calls from a driver who didn’t see the signals?
