FDOT Contracts With Century To Maintain Town’s Only Traffic Signal

June 24, 2015

The Town of Century has entered into an agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation to continue to maintain the town’s only traffic signal.

The FDOT will pay the town $3,040 to maintain the signal at Highway 29 and Highway 4 for a one year period beginning July 1, continuing an agreement already in place. Century employees change bulbs; repair on more complicated issues are subcontracted to Gulf Coast Traffic Engineers.  FDOT frequently contracts with local governmental entities to maintain local traffic signals.

    I dare anyone to actually time it … it will be less than 180 seconds and I would almost bet everything I have on that … I won’t though ;)

    No one has EVER waited 10 minutes for a traffic light, unless it is broken.

    That’s every traffic light in Escambia county it seems. You sit at a light for 10 minutes before it changes regardless of much traffic has built up from the stop light or how little traffic is passing through the green light.

    Perhaps the longer you sit in Century, the greater likelihood you will patronize local businesses.

    Too bad they don’t do anything. I’ve called numerous times about having to sit at the light for 3-4 minutes before it will change and nothing has been done to fix it.
