The City of Leesburg is removing two downtown traffic lights and turning the intersections into four-way stops. The changes are being made to address public safety and reduce vehicle speed on Main Street.
The Public Works Department will decommission the lights at the intersections of West Main Street and North 3rd Street, and West Main Street and North 6th Street. The intersections will have flashing red signal lights and all-way stop signs. Other traffic control devices such as permanent flashing red signals, repainted pedestrian crossings, and decorative stop signs are scheduled to be in place by Friday, April 14.
Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to use extra caution while navigating these areas as everyone learns the new traffic patterns. For more information about the changes, contact the Public Works Department at 352-435-9442.
