City reduces traffic signal cycle time at Fairfield, Rudisill starting Nov. 12
The City of Fort Wayne's Traffic Engineering Department will change the traffic signal pattern at the intersection of Fairfield Avenue and Rudisill Boulevard Nov. 12 to improve traffic flow.
The light will change to a two-phase cycle, with Rudisill's left-turn traffic in both directions yielding to through traffic. The left-turn arrow will be removed. Currently this intersection has a three-phase cycle, with east- and westbound traffic having a dedicated signal phase.
This intersection will have the same traffic signal pattern as the lights at the intersections of Rudisill and South Wayne and Indiana avenues.
A request from a resident prompted this modification, which better reflects the amount of vehicles using this intersection daily. Signs notifying motorists of a signal change will be placed near the intersection.
“Drivers will need to pay extra attention at this intersection in the coming weeks as they get accustomed to the change. I appreciate residents recommending ways Traffic Engineering and City government can work better for them. We are open to their comments and want to make adjustments when possible,” said Mayor Tom Henry.
