The new stop signs on Trinity Place, near Decatur’s Beacon Municipal Center have confused many drivers long accustomed to sailing through that corridor.
They aren’t going away anytime soon.
The signs were installed last week creating a four-way stop at Trinity, Electric Avenue and Swanton Way.
Lena Stevens, the city’s resource conservation coordinator, cited increased traffic with the opening of Beacon as a major reason, along with poor visibility for drivers stopping at Electric and Swanton.
“Though typically we like doing speed studies,” she said, “in this case we didn’t. The area’s clearly gotten a lot busier, and stop signs are a low-cost initiative.”
