New traffic signal at Veterans Pkwy. and Shores Rd./ Blackman Rd. fully operational

The new traffic signal at Veterans Pkwy. and Shores Rd./Blackman Rd. on the City's west side is now fully operational as of 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024.

Previously, City traffic engineers had placed the signal in flash mode for a week beginning at 2 p.m., Nov. 15, 2024, before turning fully operational Nov. 21.

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), a federal and state adopted document, specifies "traffic control signals need studies" known as warrants. A signal warrant is a condition that an intersection must meet to justify signal installation. The City of Murfreesboro applies the standards set by the MUCTD for all traffic control installations.
