Fox31 News reports that Denver removed traffic signals on Tuesday at seven West Washington Park intersections and replaced them with four-way stops, a move residents say will make their neighborhood safer.
Residents have been fighting for 30 years to reduce high-speed traffic on the one-way couplet of Washington and Emerson streets, which feed traffic between Interstate 25 and Speer Boulevard. Signals came down on Washington at First, Virginia, Exposition and Kentucky avenues, and on Emerson at First, Virginia and Kentucky avenues.
All intersections through that stretch are now four way stops and the speed limit is reduced to 25 mph.
