New 4-way stop aims to brake frustrations at downtown Nanaimo intersection
NANAIMO — A new four-way stop intersection will be under the watchful eye of City of Nanaimo officials.
The prior three-way stop sign suddenly gave way to a four-way stop sign at the Victoria/Wallace/Albert intersection on Friday, July 8.
The City’s transportation manager Jamie Rose said the change is part of the downtown mobility hub project in which the public clearly stated the traffic control mechanism of the intersection was confusing and required action.
“We wanted to pilot a four-way stop there to see if that would help to address some of the concerns folks were having with the little bit of ambiguity with the Commercial St. leg coming in without a stop control.”
