VIDEO: New left-turn light to improve safety, traffic flow at busy spot

City improves lights at Airport Road and O'Brien Street intersection

The City of North Bay shared some welcome news for motorists who frequent the Airport Road corridor, especially at busy times of the day.

A dedicated left-turn light has been added to the traffic controls (see video above), allowing some westbound vehicles turning onto O'Brien Street from Airport Road to make the turn before the eastbound traffic proceeds up the hill. 

For years, the intersection ranked among North Bay's most dangerous: Where's the most dangerous intersection in North Bay?
