Signal at Panola County intersection scheduled for activation

A new traffic signal at the intersection of SH 315 and SH 149 in Carthage is scheduled to be activated this week, weather permitting.

"Activation of the new signal is scheduled for Thursday, April 25," said Atlanta District Director of Transportation Operations Christina Trowler. "We advise motorists to use extra caution as they approach the intersection while the public adjusts to the newly signalized intersection," Trowler added.

Work is ongoing at this location to prepare for the signal activation. Portable message boards are in place in the area to remind drivers about the upcoming change. Lighting and advanced warning signs will also be in place to improve safety and visibility as motorists approach the newly signalized intersection.
