The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to systematically replace and upgrade all existing pedestrian and school crossing signs and associated subplates, at uncontrolled intersections and midblock crosswalk locations and refresh associated pavement markings (crosswalk, yield lines) in Eastern Connecticut.
From 2018 to 2022, 15% of all serious injury crashes involved pedestrians. Many of the pedestrian and school crossing signs are close to the end of their usable life. Replacing these signs with new, more retroreflective signs is critical for visibility and safety of pedestrians on State Roadways. The project is scheduled to begin construction in the Summer of 2025.
It is the CTDOT’s policy to keep the public informed when such projects are undertaken and important that the community share their concerns to assist in the project's development.
