LEON VALLEY, Texas-Responding to calls quickly and safely can be a challenge for first responders during rush hour or along busy intersections, so the city of Leon Valley recently gave the green light to purchase a system that will make it easier for police, ambulances and fire crews.
The GTT Opticom Emergency Preemption Light Control system is a device that will turn a traffic light green and clear the way for any first responder vehicles trying to get through a road.
The Leon Valley Fire and Police departments and ambulances will use the system.
