Tyler sports and outdoors enthusiasts have a new shopping option beginning this week, with the grand opening of Academy Sports + Outdoors on Broadway in South Tyler. The 86,000 sq. foot newly constructed building held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.

Shopping in Academy is easy - virtually all of the 108 U.S. stores are designed the same. After walking in, turn left for sports gear and shoes, or turn right for hunting and fishing. Clothing and camping accessories can be found in the middle of the store.

Tyler drivers are experiencing a new traffic signal in 2008 - the flashing yellow light. Drivers should yield and turn during a flashing yellow light, similar to the familiar solid green left turn yield. Tyler is following other cities across the nation including Michigan, Portland and Charlotte after a federal study showed that flashing yellow turn lights prevent more crashes than a traditional solid green yield.

Tyler has already installed six flashing yellow turn lights in busy intersections like Donnybrook and Broadway, and on Loop 323 at Old Bullard Road and Copeland.
