Aurora - The intersection of South Street (Bus. 60) and Carnation Road in Aurora will be converted to a four-way stop configuration the week of May 26, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Currently, only drivers traveling north or south on Carnation Road have stop signs at the intersection. At the request of the City of Aurora, a traffic study was done at the intersection. The amount of traffic and right angle crashes at the intersection prompted MoDOT to install the four-way configuration.
During the week of May 19, MoDOT crews will install bases for the new stop signs and paint new stop bars on the pavement.
Impact to traffic will be minimal with flaggers alerting motorists when paint crews are in lanes of traffic. Drivers can expect short delays while this work is being done. The work impacting traffic will be done during off-peak traffic hours.
Signs and electronic message boards will also be installed alerting drivers to the new four-way stop as they approach the intersection.
For more information, call MoDOT at 417-895-7600 or visit modot.org/southwest.
