Background Information:
The original Agreement was approved for support installation and/or upgrade of mast arm traffic signals in place of span wire at nine (9) intersections in the County, located on hurricane evacuation routes. Mast arms replacing the span wire will help improve safety and provide efficient flow of traffic countywide, in the event of an emergency such as a hurricane. Mast arm traffic signals at these nine (9) locations will help to ensure evacuation routes remain open and emergency personnel have access to the main roadways post storm.
