The city of Aberdeen is poised to transition the traffic signals at five intersections to either two-way or all-way stop signs, the city announced via press release.

“In December 2024, the city finalized a study to reevaluate the necessity of eight signalized intersections on Market Street and 1st Street,” the press release stated. “This work was undertaken in part to determine the replacement (needs) of aging and failing infrastructure by evaluating the current and future (needs) of each intersection. As a result of the analysis, it has been confirmed that five intersections do not need signalized control and will transition later this year to either a two-way stop control or an all-way stop control, depending on the intersection.”

By removing these traffic signals, the city expects to realize significant cost savings by way of maintenance, energy consumption and eliminating the need to replace outdated equipment.

According to the press release, informational signs were to be placed at the affected locations this week, the signals will be set to flash and stop signs will be installed in June. The signals will be covered in September, and removed at a later date.

The affected intersections are located at:

W Market and K streets

E Market and H streets

E 1st and N F streets

E Market and I streets

E Market and G streets
