Temporary four-way stop remains at downtown Newton intersection after semi crash
City staff work to navigate repair challenges at Broadway and Main
NEWTON, Kan. — A temporary four-way stop remains at the intersection of Broadway and Main streets after a semi-truck crash damaged the traffic signal there on Wednesday. City staff are working with a supplier to repair or replace the equipment, though efforts are complicated by the system's age, limited parts availability and its connection to the broader downtown traffic network. Officials are urging drivers to use extra caution in the area, particularly around pedestrians who currently lack a protected crossing.
