MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — A new traffic signal at the intersection of John Bragg Highway and Lyons Farm Parkway in Murfreesboro will be fully operational Monday, May 18, at about 10 a.m.
City traffic engineers placed the signal in flashing mode Monday, May 11, to give drivers time to adjust before it begins normal operation.
The city said Lennar Homes paid for the new signal as part of the Farmhouse Downs Subdivision development on Murfreesboro’s east side.
Traffic signals are installed based on standards in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, a federal and state-adopted guide for traffic control installations. The city said it applies those standards, including required signal warrant studies, when deciding whether an intersection justifies a new traffic signal.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
