Traffic Signal Right Turn Overlaps
Managing Department: Transportation
Classification: Capital Project
Funding Source: Gas Tax
Budget
FY23 $ 150,000
TOTAL $ 150,000
About This Project
Traffic signal modification to provide right turn overlap phase at Poinsettia/Paso Del Norte southbound approach, El Camino Real/Tamarack northbound approach, and Palomar Airport Road/Melrose eastbound approach.
