The New Traffic Signals at Main and Weatherlow
February 21, 1973
New Traffic Signals
The new traffic signals at Main and Weatherlow should be operational by early next week. Workmen for Rosendin Electric, Inc., began installing the Singer manufactured equipment on Wednesday, Jan 31, and should wrap up the job today, if everything goes according to plan.
In this photo, workmen use a crane to hoist the first traffic signal support assembly into place at the southeast corner of the intersection.
Installation is under the supervision of the California Division of Highways.
Light Being Tested
The new traffic signal installed at the corner of Main and Weatherlow Streets by the City of Susanville and the California Division of Highways is undergoing a five-day test which is expected to end on Saturday, reports Mario Vial, project director for the installation.
Vial cautioned pedestrians crossing Main Street to obey the signals and not to cross when the “Don’t Walk” signal is on.
Pedestrians wishing to cross are asked to press the buttons located at the intersections which will stop traffic and give them ample time to cross the street while the “Walk” light is on.
The below picture was taken on Monday noon as traffic was stopped at the crossing.
