New traffic light at problem intersection

The new traffic light on N 46th St. at Aurora Ave. is now in operation.  

SDOT installed the light after noticing the steady increase of traffic jams in the intersection due in large part to westbound traffic that stacks up on 46th waiting to turn left on Aurora. There’s also that dangerous crosswalk on the Aurora on-ramp (where we’ve seen a couple of close calls.) With the addition, there are now three traffic lights within a thousand feet of each other, but SDOT says they’ve coordinated timing across all three.
