New stop signs are in place at Liberty Road S and Mildred Lane S. The new 30-inch edge-lit solar-powered stop signs will flash 8 bright LED lights continuously to warn drivers on Mildred Lane S. to stop and look both ways for oncoming traffic on Liberty Road S. The LED flashing system is designed to draw attention to the intersection and reduce running through the intersection. More pedestrian safety improvements are also coming to Salem. An edge-lit audible pedestrian crossing signal was just installed on Kale Street NE and Bayne Street NE in the Northgate Neighborhood. The signal will help alert motorists, through flashing led lights, to those who wish to cross the street.
