EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 Why do some stop signs have flashing lights? That is what is driving one viewer crazy this week.<\/p>\n
Residents in East El Paso are puzzled by the installation of flashing stop signs at the intersection of Trawood and Mosswood. <\/p>\n
Aaron D., a local resident, expressed his confusion, saying, “Over on the east there is a stop sign by where I live on Trawood and Mosswood and I noticed that they changed it to have lights but no one really passes through there.” <\/p>\n
The new signs, larger than the originals, were completed in April 2024 after a traffic study of several intersections in the area.<\/p>\n
These signs are typically installed in areas with high-risk traffic flow or poor lighting. The El Paso Police Department reported 13 traffic violations at this intersection over the past five years. <\/p>\n
Research by the Texas Transportation Institute found a 28.9% reduction in vehicles failing to make a full stop and a 52.9% reduction in vehicles failing to slow down after similar sign changes.<\/p>\n
