UPDATE: Sometime this afternoon - without warning - a stop sign was placed - or rather, replaced - on Route 441 South at the intersection with Locust Street. Originally, there was a stop sign at this location, but it was removed when the Route 441 bypass was opened last week. (
Columbia Spy reported on it
HERE.) Now, this "new" stop sign has appeared there.
Please note: There is no stop sign on Route 441 North at Locust Street, but the one
at the bottom of Locust is still there.
So, to be clear: There are
two stop signs at the intersection of Route 441 and Locust -
one on 441 South and
one at the bottom of Locust.
A few other issues: The "new" stop sign on 441 South is merely sand-bagged in place. Also, there's no Stop Ahead sign on the road to alert drivers of the stop sign itself. There's no flasher on the sign. In short, there's nothing to warn drivers that a stop sign has been placed there.
As we said previously, proceed with caution at this intersection. If this re-appearing stop sign is any indication, there's no telling what might pop up - or disappear - next.
