| Sponsors: |
Constantine |
| |
| Statewide Interest: |

All of these intersections involve a state arterial road intersecting a major county road and, due to the traffic volume and crash history, a mast arm signal should replace the existing strand wire. |

| Project Description: |
| During the recent hurricanes, most of the strand wire signals were damaged or destroyed. At thirty intersections involving major county roads and state arterial roads, a very dangerous situation was created when the Sheriff's Office attempted to direct traffic. The situation was exacerbated by the length of time it took to obtain materials to restore the signals. This project would involve design and construction of mast arm signals at these identified intersections. |
| |
| Is this a project related to 2004 hurricane damage? |
Yes |
| Have you applied for financial assistance from FEMA? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| As a result of the hurricanes, only four mast arm signals were damaged and none failed as opposed to the massive failures of strand pole wires. We anticipate that the installation of mast arms at these thirty critical intersections will insure traffic control is functioning during emergency conditions. |
