TRAFFIC ADVISORIES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Before you get in your vehicle, you can learn about the scope of a particular construction project, its geographical limits and its probable impact on traffic – all with a simple click on an internet map.

The city of Pasadena’s online traffic advisory page features an easy-to-use, colorful map for major construction projects. Major construction activities may require lane closures and in some cases full roadway closures in urban areas.

Improving traffic safely and efficiently around major construction zones is a high priority for the city’s Transportation Department, which provides a coordinated strategy of temporary traffic control, advisories and operations components.

In addition, on-street signage informs motorists when to expect delays and to consider alternate posted routes.

Motorists are encouraged to visit the web page often during times of construction activity that may affect their commutes.

To access the traffic advisory map go to www.cityofpasadena.net/trafficadvisory. Click on any highlighted area for details about construction and traffic impacts.
