New Traffic Signals Coming to Eldon Next Week

In an effort to improve highway safety, drivers in Eldon will soon experience a new traffic signal being installed statewide by MoDOT. It’s called a “Yield On Flashing Yellow Arrow” and it replaces the traditional “left turn yield on green ball” indication currently used in many dedicated left-turn lanes. Weather permitting, the flashing yellow arrow signal will be installed in all four directions at the intersection of Business Route 54 and Route 52 on Wednesday, Oct. 12. During the installation at the intersection, the left turn lanes will be closed and the intersection’s signal system will be set to a four-way stop.
