A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, SEVERAL DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE INTERSECTIONS BECAME FOUR WAY STOPS. THE THINKING WAS, IT WOULD IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW. BUT JOHNNY CHANDLER WITH THE CITY’S MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT EXPERIMENT ALONG 8TH STREET AT LEAD AND COAL AND ON ROMA AVENUE IS COMING TO AN END. THOSE LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN MOVED BACK TO TRAFFIC LIGHTS.
CHANDLER SAYS THE STUDY SHOWED THAT IT WAS EASIER TO NAVIGATE IN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS, INSTEAD OF STOP SIGNS.
