The Indiana Department of Transportation announced ongoing removal of amber-red overhead flashers throughout West Central Indiana.
Amber red overhead flashers can cause confusion for motorists. Drivers often perceive the overhead flasher as an implication of an all-way stop. INDOT is aiming to enhance safety by doing this throughout the district, as this misperception can result in right-angle crashes because of failing to yield to traffic on the free flow approaches.
District traffic operations will be installing LED-flashing ground-mounted signs prior to the overhead flasher removal in several rural locations. Traffic will be maintained with temporary stoppages during the work, which is taking place at the following intersections:
