   Regional Transit has started signal testing along Folsom Boulevard from Hazel Avenue to Downtown Folsom. For the next couple weeks, RT's contractors will be testing the crossing systems at all intersections. At each intersection, train crossing arms will be going down and the bells will be flashing, simulating a light rail train going through the intersection. No trains will be running during this test period, but those traveling on Folsom Boulevard should be aware of this activity. Testing will take place during off-peak hours (day and night) in order to avoid any impacts during commute hours. Traffic delays should be minimal.
