MERIDIAN -The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) invites the public to learn about a pilot sign project on seven miles of State Highway 55/Eagle Road, from Interstate 84 to State Highway 44.
ITD will hold two public open houses this week for the Eagle Road Safety Awareness Pilot Project. These meetings are designed to engage the community and gather feedback on proposed safety enhancements along Eagle Road, Idaho's busiest non-interstate highway.
Meeting details:
With more than 60,000 vehicles a day, the two-year pilot project includes adding new warning signage and speed feedback signs this fall to aid drivers, possibly installing congestion variable speed zone signs next year, and the removal of these four mid-block left-turns to help reduce crashes on SH-55:
• Southbound left-in at Meadowdale Street
• Northbound left-in Baldcypress Street
• Southbound U-turn near Ustick Road
• Northbound left-in at Lanark Street
