TRAFFIC ADVISORY

Signals Revert To Flash During Low Traffic Hours

Butler County Engineer Greg Wilkens reports that thirteen traffic signals in West Chester and Liberty Townships will revert to a flashing mode during non-peak traffic hours. The changes were made in an effort to facilitate smoother traffic flow while maintaining motorist safety.

"After analyzing select intersections, we determined that during non-peak hours there are enough traffic gaps on the main roads to permit side street traffic to move safely into the intersections," according to BCEO Traffic Engineer Matt Loeffler. "This keeps traffic flowing on the main roads and enables motorists on the minor streets to proceed with less delay. It's a more efficient way to manage traffic at low volume times."

The newly configured signals now in effect are located at the following intersections:

Cincinnati Dayton Road at Fountains Boulevard	Flash -- 11:00pm - 6:00am
Cincinnati Dayton Road at Convenience Way	Flash -- 10:00pm - 6:00am
Cox Road at University Drive	Flash -- 10:00pm - 6:00am
