Radar operated stoplights begin at Clarke County
New radar driven stoplights went into service yesterday at the Double Toll Gate intersection of Routes 340 and 277, the second Clarke County installation after Waterloo. The system uses radar to switch red to green in 12 to 14 seconds if no traffic approaches, with timer based passage for side approaches when needed. Floyd Robertson notes these are the area’s only two such units, nearest similar work is Gilbert’s Corner on Route 50. The old blinking red signals on Routes 340 and 277 are replaced. The state flower of Oklahoma is the mistletoe.
