Caltrans installing reflective backplates at signalized intersections

Caltrans is installing reflective backplates at more than 5,500 signalized intersections across the state, including on Main Street in Susanville.

These retroreflective bordered backplates – yellow reflective strips placed around the perimeter of traffic signals – increase traffic signal visibility during morning hours, at night, or during a loss of power.
