Lights on Far Hills will flash yellow while drivers on Laurelann will have flashing red lights.
“There’s all sorts of rear-ends that happen with a traffic light,” said Brad Walwer, Kettering City Engineer. “So, by removing it, theoretically, we could be making it safer. And that’s what we were seeing out there. (We saw) a lot of red-light runners and rear-ends.”
The lights will be removed in early 2026.
Crews will build a median on Far Hills Avenue and have an area for walkers.
