County To Rebuild Traffic Light At Olive And Davis On Sunday
August 20, 2022
If you drive through the intersection of Olive Road and Davis Highway often, you know the light is frequently in flash mode during or after bad weather.
This Sunday, the signal will be completely rebuilt between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., weather permitting, to solve the problem, according to Escambia County.
Law enforcement will be on-site directing traffic through the intersection during work times as needed.

If Americans knew how to properly use a roundabout it would probably work wonderfully. Alas we here in the states are still mastering the elusive “merge lane”, baby steps I suppose.
I’m surprised they havent converted this intersection into a roundabout and eliminated the traffic signal.
Yep, that was a slice of my sarcasm.
Maybe they will finally fix the terrible timing at this intersection. When the light at University finally turns green for people to turn right onto Davis, the light at Olive and Davis is red for Davis traffic and no one can move. By the time the light at Olive is green, the light at University has already turned back to red and the traffic headed south on Davis makes it through but people trying to turn onto Davis from University get stuck. Such gridlock there, a great opportunity to improve traffic flow.
