Drivers in the area will begin seeing flashing yellow lights on the entrance ramps today when merging onto I-270. The lights are expected to become fully operational next month. The ramp lights are apart of the I-270 Corridor Innovative Congestion Management project that Governor Larry Hogan announced back in 2016.
According to MDOT, once the ramp meters are fully operational, the signal will allow one car at a time to go from each lane, optimizing traffic flow onto I-270.
