Signal Change at Two Intersections on U.S. 40 in Richmond

​WAYNE COUNTY, Ind. - The Indiana Department of Transportation announces upcoming changes to the existing signals at two intersections on U.S. 40 in Richmond starting early October. 

Beginning on or after Tuesday, October 1, crews will change the existing traffic signals at the U.S. 40 (Main St.) and 12th St. and U.S. 40 (N. A St.) & 12th St. intersections. U.S. 40 (Main St. and N. A St.) traffic will have flashing yellow signals and 12th St. traffic will have flashing red signals. Traffic on 12th St. will be required to make a complete stop before entering the intersection, while U.S. 40 (Main St. and N. A St.) will be through traffic that does not stop. The flashing yellow signals serve as a reminder for motorists to use caution when approaching these intersections. 

​INDOT will monitor the new signal change to ensure traffic flows safely and efficiently. This is a trial period to determine if the traffic signals at the U.S. 40 (Main St. and N. A St.) and 12th St. intersections should be permanently removed to increase the efficiency of the traffic flow on U.S. 40.
