This morning, City maintenance crews completed installation of new all-way stop signs at two intersections in Downtown Los Altos: Main and Second Street and Main and Third Street.

The decision to install additional stop signs at these intersections followed a recent engineering study that included analysis of traffic data, accident history and other criteria necessary to evaluate the implementation of multi-way stop control in accordance with the City of Los Altos Stop Sign Policy and Federal and State guidelines.

Multi-way stop control improves safety for all users of the road by facilitating interaction between vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. Temporary message boards have been placed in each direction of travel on Main Street to alert drivers of the new stop signs in advance of their approach.

Los Altos Police Officers will be actively monitoring traffic to enforce the new stop signs. Please be sure to walk, bike and drive safely.
