Work crews are close to completing the signal light installation and the University Parks Trail and King Road. Watch for an update on a media event planned for the week of August 14th to "light the light". Specials thanks to the Lucas County Engineering Office for making this a priority.

 There are two common methods used to detect vehicles at intersections. Induction loop is an embedded wire in the roadway that detects a metal object, works great for cars, less so for bikes and not at all for pedestrians. Cameras located overhead do a better job but lack pedestrian detection.

This crossing will use advanced detection for both vehicle traffic on King and bikes and pedestrians on the U/P trail. I would suggest that both motorists and trail users watch the video below to learn how the Radar Detection works for everyone!
