Traffic Signal Upgrades Underway At Key Lower Makefield Intersection

LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA — Traffic signal upgrades are underway at a key township intersection.

Township officials said work began Monday on the upgrades at the intersection of Big Oak Road and Makefield Road.

Officials said the upgrades include modernizing traffic signal equipment, the addition of emergency pre-emption, and enhancements to pedestrian facilities at this signalized intersection located within a school zone.

The improvements are part of the township’s ongoing commitment to enhancing roadway safety — particularly in areas with high pedestrian activity such as school zones and walkable corridors — helping to create a safer environment for students, residents, and motorists alike.

This traffic signal modernization project is funded in part through the Automated Red-Light Enforcement (ARLE) Grant Program administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, officials said.
