RICHMOND, Va. – A section of the Forest Hill Corridor is safer for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists now that a new traffic signal has been installed as part of the Forest Hill Avenue Improvement Project.   

The signal is at the intersection of Forest Hill Avenue and Melbourne Drive.  It will be energized on Monday, December 13 and temporarily placed in flash mode. Those approaching from Melbourne Drive will see a red indicator, while those approaching the intersection from Forest Hill Avenue will see an amber light.

The temporary flashing gives motorists an opportunity to adjust to the new signal ahead of it being set to function as a fully signalized intersection on Monday, December 20.
