1013 Old Leeds Road Sign
A left turn arrow will be added at the intersection of Old Leeds Road at Crosshill Road. The city council discussed the possibility of having it active in the mornings at its Sept. 28 meeting.
Richard Caudle of Skipper Consulting studied the intersection on Aug. 19 and 20 during morning and afternoon traffic times, determining that the only time the left signal would be beneficial is during the peak traffic flow in the morning. Its addition would also cause minor adverse effects on other approaches to the intersection.
The existing traffic signal controller could be programmed to add a green arrow during certain times of the day. Caudle recommended also adding a sign to notify drivers of the times that the arrow would come on.
The construction to add the arrow would cost around $7,500. Stone & Sons Electrical Contractors will be contracted for the work.
