The City of Nelsonville announces that the intersection of Burr Oak Boulevard and Chestnut Street will be changed from a 2-way stop, to a 4-way stop on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
Remember, when two drivers approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same time from different roads, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right, allowing them to pass first.
If four drivers show up at a 4-way stop at about the same time, the drivers should go in the order that they arrived. No matter who shows up at the stop sign first, all drivers must come to a complete stop whenever they’re at an intersection and must allow pedestrians to cross before proceeding. Under Ohio law, bicyclists must follow the same rules that vehicles follow.
