You may have driven up Highway 51 in the past couple of weeks and wondered, when will this traffic light stop blinking and begin to work like it’s supposed to? Town Manager Brian Welch contacted the NCDOT they said the traffic light will officially begin working tomorrow, August 26. The lights, Welch was told by the DOT, blink for a couple of weeks before they are activated.
Last time I went by, it was working, then it wasn’t working, then it was working, then it wasn’t working, then it wasn’t working, then it was working, then it wasn’t working, then it wasn’t working, then it was working, then it wasn’t working, then it wasn’t working… so it seems to be an intermittent problem.
