(KLZA) The traffic signals at the intersections of 12th, 16th and 17th Streets with US-73 in Falls City have been identified for possible removal, according to the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR).
Department studies have been performed at the intersections, which indicate that the signals may no longer be appropriate for existing traffic conditions. As part of a traffic signal removal study, the NDOR will place the lights into flashing mode beginning Wednesday, September 4.
Falls City, City Administrator Gary Jorn says the initial Department or Roads study calls for removing the 12th Street signal and a signal and either 16th or 17th Street.
North–south traffic will not be required to stop, while east–west traffic will be required to stop. The traffic study is expected to take three months to complete. The decision to remove the signals will be based on previous study results and public input received during the study.
It is anticipated that the signals will be removed at the end of this study.
