NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT MARQUIS DRIVE & HIGHWAY 16

The City is preparing to activate the newly installed traffic signals at the corner of Marquis Drive and Highway 16. The traffic signals will improve safety as development in the area continues to generate more traffic through this intersection. 

The newly installed signals will include advance warning flashers to notify drivers on the highway when the signals are about to turn red. Additional improvements, such as widening the shoulder of the road, are scheduled to be completed in the near future.

Upon initial activation, the lights will flash red for approximately five days so drivers become aware of the new traffic signals. While they continue to flash red, drivers should treat the intersection as a four-way stop. We expect the regular signal timing and control of the intersection will be activated on Monday, August 17, 2015.
