TxDOT to add LED lights at 19 intersections

The Texas Department of Transportation is planning a safety project to upgrade lighting at multiple intersections in its Atlanta district. The initiative will bring new LED lights to 19 intersections across several counties in northeast Texas.

The project is aimed at improving visibility for drivers and pedestrians, especially at night, where poor lighting can increase the risk of accidents. By replacing or adding lighting with energy-efficient LEDs, officials hope to make these intersections safer.

The upgrades are part of a broader effort by TxDOT to enhance roadway safety using relatively low-cost improvements that can have a significant impact on accident prevention.

Construction is expected to roll out across the selected intersections as part of a funded safety program, with the goal of reducing crashes and improving overall driving conditions in the region.
