The installation of the traffic signal is the result of a traffic study about vehicle volume.
The light was installed and will be maintained by the city of Farmington Traffic Engineering Department. San Juan County uses an intergovernmental agreement with the city to contract for such work. The cost of the installation was about $100,000.
The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office will begin enforcement at that signal immediately. Failure to obey traffic control devices is a violation carrying an $82 penalty, plus court fees.
