Davidsen Middle School continues to communicate with the Hillsborough County Public Works to streamline the flow of traffic to and from our school. Yesterday, traffic engineers monitored the Montague/Linebaugh intersection and adjusted the traffic signal to further improve timing. The goal is to create a balance on Linebaugh that moves the traffic with the best flow possible in both directions during the busy pick up and drop off times.  A note to drivers: The sensor at the intersection will cause the light to cycle the signal if there is a significant gap between vehicles for the left turn arrow. Traffic engineers ask that drivers stay attentive at the light and keep up with the vehicle directly ahead of them when turning left to minimize these gaps. We thank everyone for your assistance in streamlining the traffic flow in our community's school zones.
