The traffic light near Bravo Pizza has recently been repaired and is functioning as a 4-way stop light. Traffic through the intersection seems to be much more efficient than the previous operation. I hope that it stays in this configuration.

Yes, and totally agree that the 4 way stop is way more efficient. Hopefully the configuration will be permanent.

Was there an article that stoplight was now repaired. I thought I read the update somewhere.
Will be on blink four way stop for a period of time. Then return to fully working stop light.

I was there mid-morning and half the drivers didn't seem to know what to do - deer in headlights

I agree, a 4-way stop makes sense, but need to replace the flashing lights with the usual signage

Ideally, stop signs that also inform the driver that it is a 4-way stop sign. If the intersection just uses a blinking red light, drivers have no way to know if the cross-traffic has a blinking red, or just a blinking yellow.

Please keep it a 4-way STOP. I've wasted lots of time sitting at that way-too-long light.

And everybody stopping is safer. Slows people down running thru the intersection.
That's a good thing.
I'd bet accidents at that intersection have gone way down ??? !!!

Don't we have a say in this ?

I've lived in six states, and have passed driver's tests in all.
Blinking RED means STOP.

Agree 100% and it has been like this since at least May.

Heard it announced on Wvlg, our local radio station, that it is flashing red now but will return to a full stoplight within the next 30 days

Yes. You may say whatever you wish.

There is a four way stop sign with red blinking lights on Del Mar and Rio Grande. I have seen people blow through this intersection without stopping.

What does that have to do with Lake Sumter. And, if there are already stop signs plus a flashing red light then what do you propose, pop up barricades?

The 4-Way Stop is MUCH MORE EFFICIENT! The traffic light didn't use sensors in the street, so there was frequently a back-up due to long delays waiting for a green light, while no vehicles were passing through the intersection.

People may like the blinking red light but the real issue is so many drivers can’t count to 4!!

Count to four isn’t the issue, ..the special people mindset is I know I stopped last, but I am not wasting one minute waiting
