Rodeo Drive (Highway 53) Construction Update

The new traffic lights at the 46 Street and Rodeo Drive (Highway 53) intersection in Ponoka will be fully operational tomorrow (Friday, June 19). Motorists and pedestrians are asked to please approach the intersection with caution and follow the signal lights appropriately.
 

In the meantime, the lights at the intersection are currently flashing amber and red. Flashing amber lights indicate that motorists need to slow down and proceed with caution. The flashing red lights indicate that motorists must come to a complete stop and proceed when safe to do so.
