CULLMAN – The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) announced Friday that a flashing yellow arrow turn signal will be installed on Tuesday, Oct. 10 on Alabama Highway 69/Cherokee Avenue at Olive Street in Cullman.
"The four-arrow signal head featuring the flashing yellow arrow is a safe and efficient way to establish right of way for left-turning vehicles at intersections," said ALDOT's Seth Burkett.
After the new signal is in place and operational, signals will appear in the following sequence:
- A steady green arrow signifies that it is safe to turn.
- A steady yellow arrow warns that a red signal is coming. Do not enter the intersection if you can safely stop.
- A steady red arrow means drivers must stop.
- A flashing yellow arrow means turn with caution only after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
