The traffic lights at the Coefields Corners in Franklin, which is the intersection of 13th Street, Grant Street, Meadville Pike, Rocky Grove Avenue and Second Avenue, has experienced a “catastrophic failure” and will need a complete replacement of the traffic controller.
Franklin officials said the new controller “will take time to receive and install,” and until then a flashing red light will remain at the intersection. The city has asked drivers to be cautious and courteous during this time and observe traffic laws regarding right-of-ways at stop signs. If two vehicles are stopped at the same time, the vehicle to the right has the right-of-way.
