Drivers in Tulsa should take note, the intersection of E. 11th St. and S. Pittsburg Ave. is on a temporary shift today. As reported by the City of Tulsa's official press room, the usual flow of traffic lights will be replaced with a flashing four-way stop until 4 p.m. due to improvements being made at the junction. This change is an essential part of ensuring both safety and traffic efficiency during a signal outage.
The city has issued an advisory for those navigating the area. Motorists should expect possible slowdowns, and planning is recommended. The updated traffic pattern is a stop-gap measure, a brief interlude in the daily sprint of transit, as crews work to enhance the infrastructure that undergirds our commutes.
A temporary inconvenience, perhaps, but also a marker of progress in a growing city. For more details on the situation and how it might affect your route, you can view the original notice from the City of Tulsa.
