Depew Mayor Successfully Removes No Right on Red Restriction at George Urban and Transit Intersection

The State Department of Transportation has approved the request made by Depew Mayor Kevin Peterson to remove the "no right on red" restriction at the intersection of George Urban Boulevard and Transit Road. The restriction had caused frustration among drivers, as the green arrow only stayed on for about 20 seconds, resulting in unnecessary delays. Peterson had contacted the DOT after witnessing a car pass several vehicles waiting at the light and make the right-hand turn onto Transit Road, which he deemed unsafe. This is the second time Peterson has requested the removal of the restriction, with the DOT denying his previous request last year.

"Communication with Traffic Lights: Ensuring Your Presence at Red Lights"

"Communication with Traffic Lights: Ensuring Your Presence at Red Lights"

Some traffic lights rely on detection devices such as cameras, underground sensors, induction loops, magnetic detectors, magnetometers, and infrared sensors to detect vehicles and control the lights. To ensure you're within the detection area, pull up to the solid white stop line at the intersection or position your tires on the tar lines if you're not driving a car. If you're stuck at a red light, flashing your high-beam headlights may help activate the sensor. Running a red light is not recommended, but you can consider making a legal right turn or finding an alternative route if you're waiting for a left turn light.
