Changes to Traffic Flow at Five Corners Intersection

The City of Essex Junction is excited to announce a change in the way traffic on Pearl Street is released at the Five Corners. During the first part of the signal phase, vehicles in both lanes of Pearl Street will continue to be released at the same time, just as before. In the second part of the signal phase, vehicles in the right lane of Pearl Street will be allowed to go straight or turn right when vehicles on Maple Street are released. This adjustment enables simultaneous traffic flow from one lane of Pearl Street and Maple Street, as left-hand turns from Maple Street are no longer permitted.
