Downtown traffic system aims to boost safety in Aiken
Officials from the South Carolina Department of Transportation and the City of Aiken unveiled a new camera based traffic system downtown. The first phase covers Park Avenue from Laurens to York, with further synchronization planned on Richland and Park avenues. A six year study logged 269 downtown crashes, led by Richland Ave Laurens St and Richland Ave York St intersections. The system allows drivers to pass through intersections on a single green light and emphasizes updated signage such as No turn on red.
