New Crosswalk Signage, Flashing Lights Installed Near Senior Center

OYSTER BAY, NY — Town officials announced changes to help pedestrians deal with oncoming traffic in Oyster Bay. A new crossing sign with flashing lights has been installed on Audrey Avenue.

It's located adjacent to the Life Enrichment Center, where hundreds of seniors regularly navigate the roadway.

“We were pleased to work with the center to bring this improvement to the community," said Nassau County Legislator Samantha Goetz.

The signage brings attention to the crosswalk with flashing lights, which is especially beneficial during the nighttime. The lights are also solar powered, making it beneficial to the environment as it has reduced reliance on electricity, the Town of Oyster Bay said.

“Ensuring the safety of our residents is among our top priorities,” said Councilwoman Vicki Walsh. “This new signage will serve as a clear reminder for motorists to take caution and slow down when approaching this intersection.”
