NEWBERRY – Drivers traveling through the intersection of County Road 235 and Newberry Lane will soon need to come to a stop under a new traffic control pattern aimed at improving safety and traffic flow.
Alachua County Public Works, in cooperation with the City of Newberry, will convert the intersection near Publix to an all-way-stop controlled intersection beginning Monday, Feb. 23.
Currently, traffic along County Road 235 moves under a free-flow condition, meaning vehicles on CR 235 are not required to stop, while traffic entering from Newberry Lane must stop before proceeding.
Beginning Feb. 23, that will change.
“Drivers at this intersection should be prepared to stop,” the county said in an announcement.
Officials encouraged motorists to use caution and remain alert as the new traffic pattern takes effect.
Residents with questions or concerns can contact James Flegert with Alachua County Public Works at 352-548-1218 or jflegert@alachuacounty.us for additional information.
