Asbury council OKs 4-way stop at busy intersection following citizen petition

An Asbury intersection will be converted into a four-way stop following a petition from more than 150 people concerned about motorist safety. Asbury City Council members this week voted unanimously to make the intersection of Asbury and Seippel roads into a four-way stop. The issue came up for discussion in response to a petition circulated by residents about the intersection’s safety. The timeline for when the intersection will change to the four-way stop still is being decided. City staff will have to look into new signage and painting the road, as well as how to communicate the change to motorists. The intersection currently has flashing stop signs on both sides of Seippel Road, but traffic on Asbury Road does not stop.
