More flashing yellow signals coming to Bell Road in Surprise
Five more intersections to be upgraded
Posted

The city of Surprise is performing traffic signal upgrades along Bell Road, which will add flashing yellow arrows for left turns at five intersections.
The work to install these new signals will require overnight traffic restrictions.
The first intersection to receive the new signals will be at Bell and Reems roads. The signals will add flashing yellow arrows for north and southbound left turns.
Work will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 28 and is expected to be completed by 7 a.m. on Saturday, April 29.
During this time, traffic will be restricted to one lane in all four directions and left turns will be prohibited.
Additionally, the signal will be out of operation, and police will be directing traffic at the intersection.
Over the next couple of months, the following intersections will also be receiving upgraded traffic signals with flashing yellow arrows for left turns and will have similar work hours and traffic restrictions:
Bell Road and Mountain Vista Boulevard – adding flashing yellow for westbound left turn
Bell Road and Sunrise Boulevard – adding flashing yellow for eastbound and westbound left turns
Bell Road and Sarival Avenue – adding flashing yellow for westbound left turn
Bell Road and 165th Avenue – adding flashing yellow for westbound left turn
Dates for work on these intersections will be communicated as they are determined.
A flashing yellow arrow means drivers can make a left turn, but only when it is safe to do so.
Motorists must use caution and yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic – those drivers will have a green light.
The installation of a flashing yellow arrow means more vehicles per signal cycle will be able to make a left turn.
