These poles and traffic systems are used at various intersections throughout the County and work in conjunction with other city-controlled intersections.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase order is not approved, procurement of traffic control parts and equipment with Azco Supply, Inc. will not be able to continue, and access to Steinberg Traffic Poles and NoTraffic traffic signal detection systems will be limited.
