Grand Stoplight-Ask the City
Question:
Is it possible to increase the sensitivity of the stoplight at 9th and Grand going north and south? It is difficult to trigger and can take a long time to change.
Answer:
"What could be happening is not being detected because you are not within the detection zone. It is important to be in the proper lane and pull forward to the stop bar, which is the white (2') painted strip just before the crosswalk area. It is common for drivers to stay well behind the stop bar, thus falling outside the protection zone. Try this and let us know if you are experiencing the same issue and we will do our best to help you."
Ask the City Of Laramie is your chance to send the city that burning question that you have always wondered about such as: “Where can I get a city parking permit?” or “Why did my water usage rates go through the roof?”
Please note that the City of Laramie will answer as many questions as possible at their discretion.
