(KMVT)</figcaption></figure>TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The traffic intersection of highways 93 and 25 in Jerome County has been notorious for bad crashes.However, officials from the Idaho Transportation Department say a new traffic signal will help alleviate accidents in the area.“This is going to be a pretty big change for traffic on 93 and 25,” said Courtney Wagner, public information officer for ITD.The traffic signal was supposed to be finished by December, but due to setbacks, the installation has not happened.“We’ve already done all of the ground work for it, all the electrical is in and everything, we just need the poles to show up. Unfortunately, the manufacturer had some delays that were out of our control,” Wagner said.Wagner said there were multiple factors in determining a light was needed at this intersection.“We have had a lot of people request a traffic signal be put in place there. Over the last five years we’ve had six accidents, 3 of them were fatal,” she said.In the past year, this intersection has faced multiple accidents.Wagner said the cause of most crashes along this route are due to drivers not paying attention to their surroundings.“Having distracted driving on Highway 25 has been an issue. People aren’t listening to the rumble strips, they aren’t seeing the flashing lights, either they are distracted or impaired, they are blowing through it,” Wagner said.Wagner said the traffic light should be completed and fully operable by February if the weather permits.</div></body>
