Motorists, rejoice! The new left-turn arrow at the intersection of S. Broad Street and Easton Road in Nazareth has been turned on.
Don't hesitate, or you might spoil the opportunity to quickly turn left onto Easton Road. The much-anticipated installation of a left-turn arrow at the intersection of S.
