Valencia Road and Santa Clara Avenue will be the first, and that work started today, June 16.
The City of Tucson Department of Transportation says research has indicated that left-turn collisions are reduced with flashing yellow arrows.
The upgraded signals also allows traffic engineers to adjust left-turn movements based on traffic conditions and pedestrian activity.
When a flashing yellow left-turn arrow is displayed, drivers may turn left after yielding to pedestrians, bicyclists, and oncoming traffic, and should proceed only when it is safe to do so.
Other intersections in this package include:
- Via Ingresso and Mission Road
- Roger Road and Flowing Wells Road
- River Road and Hacienda del Sol Road
- Wrightstown Road and Pantano Road
- 29th Street and Craycroft Road
- 29th Street and Swan Road
- Golf Links Road and Swan Road
- Grant Road and Swan Road
The Tucson DOT says each intersection is scheduled to take one day to complete, with crews working from about 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Police officers will be on site to help direct traffic and to assist pedestrians through the work zone.
Crews will complete one intersection every two weeks and are scheduled to complete all intersections by the end of September 2026.
