New traffic signal makes intersection safer in Duluth

For years, drivers in downtown Duluth hesitated with looks of confusion as they tried to navigate the three-way stop in the center of town. Local drivers understood that those crossing the railroad tracks had the right-of-way, but drivers new to the area were often befuddled.

But as of Thursday, a new traffic signal at West Lawrenceville Street and Main Street/State Route 120 will put all doubts aside. Officials hope the new traffic lights, which will be coordinated with train traffic, will improve traffic flow and driver safety.
