FDOT recalibrates Green Cove traffic signals

Assistant City Manager Mike Null said state transportation officials recalibrated traffic signals on State Road 16 and U.S. 17 within Green Cove Springs this week. 

Null said that he rode with FDOT engineers while they analyzed traffic and told them the city has two afternoon rush hours, one around 4 p.m. after workers are released from NAS Jacksonville at 3:30, and a second traditional rush hour after 5 p.m.

Null added that the technicians increased the green light time by 11 seconds for drivers making a left turn from U.S. 17 onto Ferris Street (S.R. 16).
