<DIV class=yiv927112341MsoNormal><B>City of Moscow improves traffic congestion at 3<SUP>rd</SUP> and Main Street intersection</B></DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal><B> </B></DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal><B>August 17, 2012 (Moscow, Idaho) –<A href="" name=OLE_LINK4 rel=nofollow></A><A href="" name=OLE_LINK3 rel=nofollow></A> </B>On August 15, 2012, the City of Moscow installed a “No Left Turn, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.” sign on the north traffic signal, prohibiting left turns from Main Street onto Third Street in downtown Moscow. </DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal> </DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal>The purpose of the left turn restriction is to improve traffic flow and reduce wait times and congestion at the Third and Main Streets intersection. It was observed that during peak traffic flows, vehicles in the northbound lane of Main Street were waiting through three to four cycles of the traffic signal, resulting in vehicles being backed up south of the intersection beyond Friendship Square. Additionally, waits and congestion made parking on the east side of Main Street between Third and Fourth Streets difficult to pull out of. It was found that vehicles traveling northbound and making a left turn onto Third Street accounted for approximately 30% of the traffic, but was responsible for over 85% of the delays at the intersection. </DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal> </DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal>Benefits of the revised traffic pattern include the reduction of potential conflicts with pedestrians crossing Third Street on the west side of Main Street, improving the flow of Main Street traffic providing a more inviting street to travel, and providing easier access to parking in that section of downtown.</DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal> </DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal>It is recommended that traffic interested in turning onto Third Street to head west should continue straight through the Third and Main Streets intersection to access Jackson Street via First Street, ‘A’ Street, or follow Main Street to the north to loop back around on ‘C’ Street. </DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal> </DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=yiv927112341MsoNormal>While this change may take some getting used to, the City believes the improved traffic flow will benefit residents and visitors.</DIV>
