Traffic Safety
The Public Works Division is
responsible for traffic signals, traffic signs and lane marking
of all roads in the City of Vernon except for 32nd Street and Hwy
#6 which are maintained by the Ministry of
Highways.
Public Works Technicians program
the timing and perform preventive maintenance of the 23 traffic
signals and three pedestrian operated red controlled intersections.
Currently, 27th Street from 58 Ave to 28 Ave runs on a daily time
based coordination beginning at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 7:00 p.m.
A fully actuated traffic signal
includes mechanisms installed at intersections that detect volume
of traffic present. Based on this information, the signal provides
sufficient run time to keep vehicles flowing efficiently. All signal
controlled intersections include components such as a controller,
traffic detector, the traffic lights and the connecting cables.
The Public Works Division staff
conducts an annual inspection of all street signs as part of their
preventative maintenance.
Traffic line painting is performed
each spring by contractors. Additional line painting is done on
an as-required basis.
If you have traffic concerns
of any kind please call the Public Works Division @ 549-6757.
