Cities nationwide upgrade traffic signals for safety, efficiency

Multiple cities across the United States are undertaking significant traffic signal upgrades to improve safety and traffic flow. Hull City Council is set to upgrade traffic signals at Calvert Lane and Anlaby Road in conjunction with essential gas line work, aiming to enhance pedestrian safety and traffic efficiency. In Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, the city has accelerated its traffic signal upgrade project along Government Way to avoid tourist congestion, with improvements scheduled to be completed by August. Cape Coral, Florida, is also initiating the construction of a new traffic signal at Del Prado Boulevard, with expected completion by April 2025 and associated speed limit reductions. Meanwhile, Hanover Borough is updating temporary traffic signals at Kindig Lane and High Street, which were installed just two months ago, with new signals expected to be operational shortly. These projects reflect a broader trend of cities prioritizing transportation infrastructure to address community needs.
