Local leaders turned on a traffic light that will help alleviate some of the traffic troubles surrounding the Wet ‘n’ Wild water park.

The new signal was turned on at Ft. Apache Road and Maule Avenue Thursday. The light is next to a middle school and close to several residential construction sites.

The intersection gets especially busy during the summer months when people are headed to the water park.

The new light was funded by the Fuel Revenue Indexing, which is the fuel tax increase approved by Clark County last year.
