Show 10 YEARS AGO Jul l). I'JTO New traffic signal lamps were hung at the intersections at Vernal Ave. and Fifth West on Main Street this week as part of the Utah State Department of Highways traffic control on U.S. Highway 40. A traffic control device will also be installed in-stalled to regulate the control of traffic. Sensors have been installed under each traffic lane that register every time a metal object passes over it. This determines deter-mines the traffic flow and keeps the signals open for greater periods in the lanes having the greatest number of vehicles. Also a pedestrian control light for: "walk" and "don't walk" will be installed in-stalled on each post for pedestrians to push if they wish to interrupt the normal nor-mal cycle of operation. When the lights are finished it will give Vernal the most modern traffic control system available and will help unfamiliar tourists to recognize the traffic signals from a greater distance. |
