City modifying Washington Center traffic signal for off-peak hours
The City of Fort Wayne's Traffic Engineering Department will modify the traffic signal at the intersection of Washington Center Road and Coldwater Crossing shopping center and Stoney Creek Drive starting Friday for off-peak driving times.
The signal will go to a red-yellow flashing schedule 11 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. starting Friday, May 15.
It will flash yellow on the major roadway, Washington Center, and red on the secondary portions of the intersection.
Last year, Traffic Engineering started evaluating traffic lights for locations such as shopping centers and schools that have specific hours of operation or intersections of arterial roads and residential streets during nighttime hours when the volume of traffic is much lower.
The change will save drivers time, can reduce gasoline consumption and reduce greenhouse gases.
