Friendly Compliance Reminder

Nancy Powell, TMC Supervisor
KC Scout Blog – August 6, 2010 - Compliance Reminder!

As part of KC Scout's ongoing effort to reduce congestion, ramp metering was deployed last November along a section of I-435 from Metcalf to the Three Trails Memorial Crossing. With the closure of I-470 WB to I-435 WB due to "The Hole," traffic has lessened considerably in the metered corridor. Last Friday afternoon between 4:45 pm and 5:45 pm, Scout was conducting traffic counts at the EB ramp from State Line onto I-435. During this one hour, peak-traffic period, 53 vehicles were observed running the red light at the signaled meter stop bar.

This is just a friendly reminder to drivers to pay closer attention to the traffic signals, as local law enforcement will be patrolling these metered ramps and they are issuing violations to motorists who fail to stop.

Please Drive As Though Your Life Depended Upon It…because it does!
