The proposed traffic signal system will incorporate equipment which will allow for the traffic signal to be put in flash operation, with the Route 108 downhill approach receiving a flashing yellow light and the N Main St/Main St approaches receiving a flashing red light. A Road Weather Information System (RWIS) will be installed, in conjunction with the traffic signal equipment, which will have the ability to monitor realtime weather and roadway surface conditions to determine when this flash operation should occur.
Additionally, dynamic advanced warning signs are proposed on the Route 108 southbound approach to the intersection to alert drivers to a RED signal before full visibility of the intersection is available to provide additional reaction and braking time.
