BRUNSWICK — The temporary traffic signal at Mill and Pleasant streets has been removed by the state, according to Brunswick officials.
The light was removed Friday morning to better move U.S. Route 1 southbound traffic, according to Brunswick police.
The temporary stop light was installed last year and stopped Mill Street traffic at the intersection that previously had yielded to traffic turning onto Pleasant Street from Stanwood Street.
The Maine Department of Transportation made the change to test the traffic signal before reconstructing the intersection.
Police say traffic turning left off Stanwood is reminded that they should be turning into the closest lane when they traverse the intersection – which is the inside lane.
“This is the reason for the rumble strip and solid white line which divide the Pleasant Street travel lanes in the area of the intersection,” the notice states. “Cones have temporarily been added to the white line in an effort to remind drivers.”
