Continuing process of changing signals based on traffic needs

The City of Fort Wayne'€™s Traffic Engineering Department will modify two traffic signals on West Rudisill Boulevard starting Friday for off-peak driving times.

The intersections of Rudisill and Indiana and South Wayne avenues will go to a red-yellow flashing schedule 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. starting Friday, April 24.

It will flash yellow on the major roadway, Rudisill, and red on the secondary street, Indiana or South Wayne, 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.
