Did You Know . . . ?
Traffic Facts
Since we are entering the season when rainstorms and winds can
cause power outages affecting our traffic signals, please keep in
mind . . . When a traffic signal is not working, all
drivers approaching the intersection must stop at the
intersection, then proceed when safe. The intersection
operates like a multi-way stop sign controlled intersection when the
signal is not working.
Time Limit Parking
applies to
the entire block or parking lot for a 24-hour period. For
example: you cannot park in a 2-hour zone in the morning and
then later in the afternoon park again in the same 2-hour zone.
Traffic
Signals cost from $90,000 to $140,000 to design
and construct. The variation in cost is dependant on the width
of the intersection and the complexity of the phasing (traffic
movements).
15 mph is the speed limit in all alleys. Signs
do not need to be posted for this speed limit to be in effect.
Two-Way Left-Turn lanes,
are exclusively for left-turns and u-turns. It is
illegal to use the lane as a driving lane or to use it to overtake
and pass slower traffic.
