Knights Bridge Road/Arndt Road intersection safety improvements

Reducing rear-end crashes by improving visibility of intersection

Most crashes at this intersection are rear-end collisions. Includes installing a radar detection system to detect vehicles as they approach the Knights Bridge Road/Arndt Road intersection. The detection prevents the signal from changing to another direction prematurely and placing drivers in a dilemma of deciding to go through the intersection or not, causing longer wait times. Also adding signal ahead signs and pavement markings to alert drivers of changing conditions. 

Why

To provide a safer roadway for all users by increasing visibility of intersection.
