Stop Sign Warning Systems
Intersection Warning Systems
Intersection conflict warning systems improve safety on rural roads
The systems, installed on non-signalized rural intersections, reduce the number and severity of crashes. Signs and flashing lights warn drivers approaching an intersection to stop for cross traffic. All test locations were chosen based on crash data.
Where will the warning systems be installed?

In addition, MnDOT is applying for a grant to expand the conflict warning program to
reduce crashes at intersections throughout Minnesota.
