The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting area motorists that traffic signals at the intersection of Route 255 and Shaffer Road in DuBois are operating normally to ease traffic flow through the area.  

The signals had been in flash red mode since late March, when a crash damaged the signal controller cabinet. The signals changed back to normal status earlier this afternoon. Stop signs at the four points of the intersection have been removed.

Motorists may find that the signals do not cycle in the exact time sequence that they are used to and are asked to be patient. Traffic delays are still possible. Crews will return to the intersection in the coming weeks to fine-tune the communication technology within the system.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
