Community Services and its traffic signalization engineering consultant seek public feedback on signal modifications to nine traffic signals on upper Central Avenue, from Oak Street to Weeks Crossing at Indian Brook Drive.

The new signal timings were fully deployed on April 5. Traffic engineers will continue to modify timings based on traffic data and public feedback.

The nine intersections with new timings traffic light timings include :

• Central Avenue at Oak Street
• Central Avenue at Old Rollinsford Road
• Central Avenue at Hannaford and Aldi plazas
• Central Avenue at Glenwood Avenue
• Central Avenue at Morin Street
• Central Avenue at Weeks Lane/Webb Place
• Central Avenue/New Rochester Road at Indian Brook Drive
• New Rochester Road at Willand Pond Road/Hotel Drive
• Indian Brook Drive at Weeks Lane

Please note: The pavement condition is poor on Central Avenue between Glenwood Avenue and Abbey Sawyer Memorial Drive, which may impact travel times. The poor conditions are mainly due to a water main project completed in January and not being able to repave the trenches due to the cold weather. These trenches will be repaved in the next few weeks, followed by a complete pavement overlay this fall.

Provide feedback

A simple online survey is available here. Please consider providing feedback to the city and its engineers to help improve the signal timings.
