Press release
The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists that on Wednesday, July 30, the intersection of State Route 98 and Lockport Road in the Town of Elba, Genesee County, will be converted from a two-way-stop into a four-way-stop, with new signs installed on Lockport Road.
Work will be completed by the end of the day. The new signs take effect immediately upon installation and motorists are advised to proceed with caution in the vicinity of the intersection while traffic adjusts to the new pattern.
Motorists should anticipate travel delays during this time and are advised to seek alternate routes if necessary. Construction activities are weather dependent and subject to change based on conditions.
Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
Tickets should be issued ! However putting a stop warning sigh over the other of side of hill on Lockport Road may help. I have been at that corner hundreds of times and not once do I see why a four way stop lights are need ! More information about the cause of the accident are needed for us to decide on how to stop the accident. 20 and East rd is lite up like a Christmas tree but that doesn’t get people on East Road to stop.
