This release was issued under a previous government.

To increase intersection safety, crews are replacing the two-way stop signs on Highway 831 with four-way stop signs. When the transition to the new four-way stop is complete, all motorists, including those on Highway 28, will come to a full stop at the intersection.

Intersection of Highway 28 and Highway 831

  • The transition to a four-way stop will take place over two weeks.
  • The four-way stop will come into effect on Wednesday, March 18, weather permitting.
  • Signs and message boards have been installed along the intersection approaches informing drivers of the upcoming change.
  • These signs include:
    • “New Traffic Control” signs;
    • “Important Intersection Ahead” signs with amber flashing lights; and
    • “4-Way Stop” signs with red flashing lights.
  • Rumble strips will be installed in the spring to further notify drivers of the new four-way stop configuration.

These new traffic control measures are part of a long-term plan for the intersection that includes design for a roundabout.
