Milton has signed contracts to construct an emergency vehicle hybrid beacon for the new Fire Station 44 at 13690 Ga. 9/Alpharetta Highway. This signal will flash red stopping traffic on Ga. 9 in both directions to allow emergency vehicles to safely exit the station when leaving for emergency calls.

Milton’s City Council recently approved a change to the initial contract adding a Zinc Battery Backup System and two “Tattletale” Red Light Enforcement Beacons.

The two red-light enforcement beacons will be installed onto existing traffic signal heads.

Total cost for the emergency beacon system is $103,491.
