Drivers, watch for new School Street traffic signal

The signals will begin normal operations at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
Because the signal is located at a mid-block crosswalk, pedestrians who wish to cross must press the button to trigger the walk signal.
"This is part of our effort to improve pedestrian safety islandwide," said Mayor Mufi Hannemann, in a news release. "We can't do it alone, of course and we urge motorists and pedestrians to exercise caution on the road at all times."
