     This signal will facilitate improved traffic flow along Route 130 near the entrance to the Shoppes, and provide easier access to the Shoppes for southbound traffic on Route 130 which currently must travel an additional 2.3 miles from the southbound point of the proposed traffic signal to the northbound entrance to the Shoppes.
