Marble Falls has added new stop signs at two intersections near Main Street, converting them into four-way stops in an effort to improve traffic safety.
According to a city update issued on Wednesday, Feb. 10, installation began on Tuesday this week and was completed the same-day.
The changes were made at Avenue J and 2nd Street and at Avenue J and 3rd Street. Previously, both intersections operated as two-way stops, requiring traffic on 2nd and 3rd streets to stop while vehicles traveling along Avenue J did not.
The city installed additional stop signs to create four-way stops at both locations. The upgrades include flashing lights on the new signs and pavement stop bars at all approaches to enhance visibility and improve safety for drivers.
