PLACER COUNTY – Caltrans has sent out a notice alerting motorists motorists to expect operational changes for the traffic signal on CA-267 at the intersection of Schaffer Mill Road and Truckee Airport Road in Placer County.

On September 8, Caltrans maintenance crews replaced traffic signal lights at the intersection and recalibrated signal timing to permit dedicated left turns for motorists traveling from Schaffer Mill or Truckee Airport Roads onto CA-267. Previously, motorists attempting to make left turns from these secondary roads had to yield to through traffic, creating long queues and extended travel delays.

These improvements were implemented based on feedback from local residents and officials.
