The city of Newark is installing a new traffic signal at the pedestrian crossing at The Green on Delaware Avenue in Newark.

The signal will be on flash beginning Friday, April 20, and will transition to stop-and-go operation on Monday, April 23.

The new signal will be coordinated with the signal at Delaware and South College Avenue. This will allow for defined breaks in vehicle traffic for pedestrians to cross safely and defined breaks in pedestrian traffic for vehicles to pass efficiently.

UD Police officers will be stationed at the crosswalk during the remainder of the semester, directing traffic during the initial flashing phase and then providing guidance when the light goes live on April 23.
