Newly installed traffic lights at the intersection of 85th Street and Cooper Road were activated on Wednesday, January 20. The traffic lights were originally flashing red for approximately one week. The flashing lights have now been converted to a standard traffic light pattern similar to the pattern at the intersection of 80th Street and Cooper Road.
The traffic lights have also been equipped with emergency vehicle pre-emption devices. These will allow emergency responders to change the signals to allow for safe passage through the intersection when responding to an emergency call. Similar devices are also being used at the intersection of 80th Street and Cooper Road.
