INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Transportation announced Wednesday it will begin installing systems next week across the state to help reduce crashes at intersections.
According to a release from INDOT, intersection conflict warning systems that feature signs and flashing lights will be placed before 17 intersections around the state that have a stop sign and no traffic signal.
The Federal Highway Administration reported the systems help reduce severe crashes by up to 20-30%.
INDOT will install lights and signage to alert drivers on both intersecting roads that traffic is approaching or there is a waiting vehicle.
Intersection conflict warning systems use vehicle detection under the pavement to trigger the system, which features signs and flashing yellow warning lights, according to INDOT.
Installation of the systems is scheduled to begin Monday and continue into next spring.
