The traffic signals project will upgrade traffic and pedestrian signals to meet current regulations and traffic signal design standards, including installation of fiber optic Intelligent Transportation Systems
VANCOUVER – This spring, Clark County will upgrade several traffic signals throughout the county. The traffic signals project will upgrade traffic and pedestrian signals to meet current regulations and traffic signal design standards, including installation of fiber optic Intelligent Transportation Systems. The project also includes upgrading sidewalks to meet current ADA regulations.
This work includes constructing or upgrading traffic and pedestrian signals at:
- Northeast 27th Avenue at Northeast 134th Street
- Northeast 7th Avenue at Northeast Fraser Road
- Northeast 5th Avenue at Northeast 78th Street
- Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue – from Northeast 78th Street to Northeast 82nd Street
Construction is expected to begin in mid-April. Construction activities will occur between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. For the safety of workers and the public, traffic lanes and/or sidewalks may be temporarily closed near worksites. Travels will be directed around closed lanes and sidewalks.

Unfortunately, none of this will help with the current trend of jaywalking across multiple lanes of traffic mid-block.
