Starting today (Monday), the City of Spokane will terminate programmed flash – setting
traffic signals to flash during early morning hours – at three intersections on
Indian Trail Road.
Programmed flash will be eliminated at the following
intersections:
·
Barnes Road and Indian Trail
·
Pacific Park Drive and Indian Trail
·
Shawnee Avenue and Indian Trail
Vehicle detection systems were recently installed at each
intersection, so programmed flash is no longer needed to keep traffic moving. Vehicle detection allows the signals to respond promptly to vehicle
demand. The system will allow for more efficient service during low volumes
times when programmed flash was previously used (1 a.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays and
2 a.m. to 5 a.m. on weekends).
