Citywide traffic signal upgrades are coming to Plano after officials approved $8.5 million to go toward new vehicle detection systems at a meeting June 8.
The gist
The new systems will be installed at 284 intersections across Plano for traffic signals to recognize when vehicles are stopped at an intersection.
Detection systems help prevent unnecessary delays in traffic, according to city documents. The upgrades will also improve signals, support more reliable traffic flow and reduce maintenance costs for outdated and failing equipment.
