Traffic signal installed at Preston Road and Town Square Drive in Plano after crash data
Summary

A traffic signal was installed at the intersection of Preston Road and Town Square Drive in Plano after the location topped the list of crashes among intersections without a signal since 2020, the meeting transcript states.
The move followed notes that more than 60 southbound and northbound vehicles on Preston make left turns at the intersection every hour during morning traffic. Because this is the first traffic signal encountered when entering Plano from the overpass at Preston and State Highway 121, additional safety features were added, including an advanced warning flasher system.
The transcript did not specify which agency installed the signal, the exact installation date, funding sources, or any related traffic-study documents. The record instead summarizes the safety rationale (crash history and high left-turn volumes) and lists the added feature: an advanced warning flasher to alert approaching drivers.
No formal vote or motion was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided, and no further follow-up actions or timeline were specified.
