The full traffic signal at 18th Street and Wesley Avenue in Ocean City will be set to flashing mode until March 15.
An off-season drive to the south end of Ocean City will be a little quicker and smoother from now through March 15.
Full traffic signals at the following intersections will be set on flashing mode:
- 18th Street and Central Avenue
- 34th Street and Central Avenue
- 24th Street and Bay Avenue
- 40th Street and West Avenue
- 46th Street and West Avenue
- 52nd Street and West Avenue
The red flashing signals will face the numbered cross-streets, and the yellow signals will face the through traffic on the avenues.
The change is based on “substantially reduced traffic volume during the off-season,” according to the Ocean City Police Department.
The signals on the county roads of West Avenue and Bay Avenue (noted above) have been changed to flashing since 2011. City Council last fall approved adding the two Central Avenue intersections.
