Relief On The Way For Rochester, Freedom Roads Motorists

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA - Traveling along the heavily congested Rochester and Freedom Road corridors should be easier in the near future. The township has been awarded a $53,000 state matching grant to improve traffic signal timing in those areas.

The money will go toward the purchase of software to transform clock-driven signal cycles along the two busy roads into demand-responsive adaptive signals.Several years ago, the township launched an effort to change all signals along its busiest arteries to adaptive timing.

The grant will allow adaptive signal technology at eight signals throughout the two corridors and link them to other adaptive signals in the township’s traffic management system. The additional signals will bring to 29 the total of adaptive technology signals on Route 19, Route 228 and Freedom Road.
