Stop signs will go up at Second, Third street intersections
Clarksville, TN – Traffic signals at two Main Street intersections will be replaced with stop signs Friday in an ongoing effort to calm vehicular traffic in downtown Clarksville and make it more pedestrian-friendly.
The work will be on Main Street at Second and Third streets and may include temporary closing of the intersections and detouring of local traffic on Friday, March 9th, 2018. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible that day.
After the traffic signals are removed, the two Main Street intersections will be stop-sign controlled.
Three years ago the Clarksville Street Department removed four traffic signals downtown to improve traffic flow and improve pedestrian usability. These signals were at Franklin and Second streets; Franklin and Third streets; Commerce and Second streets; and at Commerce and Third streets.
The work Friday on Main Street, which is being funded by Montgomery County, continues those efforts.
