Woodland - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced today a new four-way stop sign will be in operation this afternoon at the intersection of State Route 16 and Kentucky Avenue. A "stop ahead" sign with a flashing light along with changeable message signs will warn motorists of the new stop signs from all directions entering the intersection.

A controlled signal is planed for this intersection in 2007.

The Caltrans District Traffic Management Branch has reviewed each project and determined that individual project delays are expected to be less than the statewide policy maximum of 30 minutes, unless noted otherwise above.

Lanes are numbered from the center divide (#1) to the shoulder (#2, 3, 4, etc.).

Unexpected schedule changes may occur. For current information on roadwork, delays, road conditions and emergency closures, call the voice-activated Caltrans Highway Information Network (CHIN) at 800-427-7623 (ROAD) or visit the Caltrans website at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/
