INDOT To Remove Several Overhead Flashers, Replace With LED Signage

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces the 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:

Frankfort Subdistrict:

S.R. 29 at 2nd Streeet in Michigantown, Clinton County

S.R. 32 at S.R. 75 in Dover, Boone County

U.S. 52 at Stockwell Road in Tippecanoe County

Work is anticipated to be complete by early July but is weather dependent and subject to change.
