City Rejects Request for Left-Turn Signal
A request for left-turn traffic signals on Idaho Street at La Habra Boulevard has been denied.
The City Council last week rejected the request by a Brea resident, saying the intersection doesn’t need left-turn signals.
The Brea resident wrote a letter to the city, saying she has a difficult time making left turns at Idaho and La Habra.
Deputy City Manager Kathy Kim said traffic engineers recently did a study to determine if such signals are warranted there.
They concluded that the intersection does not warrant traffic signals despite two accidents reported there in the past year, Kim said.
