New flashing signs on I-12 aim to prevent highway crashes by alerting drivers of stopped traffic ahead.

New flashing signs are now warning drivers on I-12 westbound just before merging with I-10—giving them a crucial heads-up that traffic might be stopped ahead. Designed to combat the dangerous blind spot at this curve, the signs aim to prevent last-minute collisions by alerting drivers before they’re caught off guard. Officials hope this proactive tech will slash accidents at one of the state’s most hazardous merge points—making roads safer and traffic flow smoother for everyone.
