The intersection of 230th Street SW and 58th Avenue West in Mountlake Terrace has been converted from a 2-way stop to an all-way stop. Two stop signs, two “Stop Ahead” signs, and four “Traffic Revision Ahead” signs were added to the intersection.
The “Traffic Revision Ahead” signs have orange flags attached to them and will stay up for three to six months.
Crosswalks are already marked on all four legs of this intersection. Stop bars will be added on 58th Avenue West and the Police Department is monitoring the intersection more closely for compliance.
This type of traffic revision must meet certain criteria and a recent collision at the intersection caused it to meet the threshold for changing it to a four-way stop, according to city staff.
