Traffic Signal at Hwy 74 and Leon Rd.

The traffic signal at the intersection of Hwy 74 and Leon Rd was
determined warranted. The signal will improve traffic safety at the
intersection. As part of the improvement, the main driveway at the
Royal Palm Estates will be restricted to right-in and right-out only to
reduce vehicular conflicts and improve safety. Residents can exit Leon
onto Hwy 74 with a green light after the traffic signal is completed.
Left turn traffic on Hwy 74 onto Leon will have a green arrow.

The traffic signal is funded entirely by the County of Riverside with
the support of Supervisor Ashley using Development Impact Funds for
traffic signal mitigation. The cost of the project is approx.
$700,000.

The Riverside County Transportation Department is the lead agency. The
project was reviewed and approved by the Californian State Department of
Transportation since Hwy 74 is a state highway and is under Caltrans
jurisdiction. The project is being constructed under a state
encroachment permit by a contractor retained by the County with Caltrans
oversight. The date of completion of the project will be confirmed once
power is provided by SCE. After the project is completed, Caltrans will
operate and maintain the signal.
