SHARON, Pa. – The city has received a $135,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Automated Red-Light Enforcement program to improve traffic safety.
The funding will be used to update pavement markings at five signalized and two unsignalized intersections along State Street and to replace an outdated warning sign with an overhead flashing warning device at the intersection of East Connelly Boulevard and Smith Avenue.
“I am pleased to know this grant will help improve safety along State Street,” state Rep. Parke Wentling, R-7th, said in announcing the grant.
The Automated Red-Light Enforcement program aims to improve safety at intersections with traffic signals by providing automated enforcement at locations where data shows red-light running has been an issue.
