New Traffic Lights Upgrades | Groesbeck Hwy & Metro Pkwy

Groesbeck Hwy & Metro Parkway in Clinton Township, Michigan features an active wire span configuration showcasing 4 3-way LED Eagle Mobotrex clusters, accompanied by an upcoming crosswalk upgrade featuring new sidewalk heads and countdown pedestrian signals! This video documents the current active signal layout alongside brand new, unactivated hardware additions at the massive intersection of Groesbeck Highway (M-97) and Metro Parkway (16 Mile Road) in Clinton Township. Filming this on foot provides a steady, detailed look at the complex hardware managing this major Macomb County traffic corridor, especially right by the pedestrian bridge! The main intersection utilizes an extensive wire span network to suspend a heavy overhead matrix. Controlling the vast multi-lane approaches are 4 3-way LED Eagle Mobotrex clusters, providing drivers from all directions with clear, redundant sightlines. Just before the pedestrian bridge, the setup features an additional wire span equipped with 2 LED LFE heads with black backplates, supported on the ground by 2 LED LFE sidewalk heads to safely manage the traffic flow. However, this location is currently in the middle of a pedestrian safety modernization! Crews have recently installed 2 new LED Eagle Mobotrex sidewalk heads and 8 brand new countdown pedestrian signals, all facing away to safely manage foot traffic crossing Metro Parkway. Right now, these new sidewalk heads and countdown pedestrian signals are completely installed but not yet powered on as they await final activation!
