Downtown Aiken switches to camera-based traffic system
Aiken Public Safety Director Pete Frommer says downtown traffic signals will switch Sunday to a simplified camera-based system. Park Avenue from Laurens Street to York Street starts the rollout with a 1 to 4 PM public test, then other intersections follow as kinks are worked out. The changeover includes a 30 day grace period for drivers to learn the new rules.
