New Turn Signal Coming To Milton Intersection
Milton is preparing to add the dedicated left turn signal to the intersection of Canton and Highland/Thacher.
MILTON, MA — Milton has been soliciting the public's opinion on possible spots for improved traffic enforcement and signaling in recent months. On Wednesday, Milton officials said public input led to hardware being installed for a new dedicated left turn signal on Canton Avenue at Highland and Thacher.
Officials said the Milton Traffic Mitigation Committee received several requests for the signal to help congestion at the intersection. Signal implementation is expected to begin next week.
