A 4-way stop will soon be in place at a Shelby County intersection.

Commissioner Kevin Nigh says 1100 North and 500 West is currently just a two-way stop.  North and southbound traffic does not stop there.  Following a Shelby County Sheriff's Department study of the site and poor visibility due to the woods at the intersection, commissioners approved an ordinance to make the intersection a 4-way stop.

Nigh says the nearby Lakeview subdivision and a number of kids in the area increased the need to slow the traffic with the 4-way stop.
