Prosper’s First Street should accommodate more than double the number of cars once construction to widen the road and install new signals is finished, Engineering Director Hulon Webb said in an email.
“A two-lane road can handle 6,000-12,000 vehicles per day, where a four-lane divided road can handle 20,000-28,000 vehicles per day,” Webb said.
Prosper has seen its population more than tripled since 2012, according to census data compiled by the town.
“The projects will reduce traffic congestion and improve safety for drivers traveling in Prosper,” Webb said.
