The Maricopa County Department of Transportation in the US state of Arizona has started the installation of traffic lights at Baseline Road and Arizona 85 in Buckeye.

The new lights installed are part of the government’s project to increase road safety in the region.

As part of the work, the roads will be widened and a left-turn-only lane will be created, including the installation of new signs, pavement markings and pole-mounted traffic-detection devices for traffic management.

The construction will be completed by December 2010, according to azcentral.com.
