CROSBY – Soon locals here are going to get fed up with roadways north and south, east and west, that have stopped functioning as they once had and now result in traffic jams.
A couple of horrible accidents on the IH-10 bridge over the San Jacinto pointed out that there is not enough signal time for very many, if any, to turn left onto US 90. Complaints went to TxDOT and they changed the signal times for the intersection of the Beaumont Highway and Main Street in Crosby.
In turn, the traffic began to back up for miles into Crosby at the intersection for southbound vehicles. These things are hard to regulate.
According to Danny Perez, Public Information Officer Houston District of Texas Department of Transportation, “It is always our goal to address the concerns of the community. In this case some modifications to the timing of the signal helped to improve traffic flow in the area. We will continue to monitor traffic conditions in case further adjustments are needed.”
