Fifth and Jefferson

This is another sign that my town is loosing population and resources. This used to be one of the busiest corners in town. It had two stoplights pointing in each of the four directions and there were crossing guards during school times.

The lights started breaking down and parts were unavailable and the city could not afford to do an entire replacement. The old lights were taken down, the poles supporting them removed, and new 4-way STOP signs were installed.

After a while people began complaining about having to stop when there was no traffic.

Now all that's needed are two STOP signs. After drivers get used to the new traffic patterns the small signs below the stop signs will be taken down.
