"Basically, with the amount of traffic on Ind.15, people had a lot of problems crossing it when coming off of U.S.30," said Kim Leake, Warsaw public works superintendent."The state came in and did some traffic counts and determined, for safety reasons, there was a need for a series of traffic signals at the interchange." Shan Gunawardena, of the Indiana Department of Transportation, said the traffic study of the interchange was conducted between 6 a.m.and 6 p.m.April 8 and 10, 1997.The traffic counts from those time periods were sufficient to warrant the installation of the traffic signals.
