Two new stop signs were installed on Leroy Avenue at Sedgwick Avenue on Tuesday, Sept. 25, making the intersection a four way (all way) stop. Previously, traffic on Leroy Avenue was not required to stop.

In addition to the new stop signs and painted stop bars, permanent advance warning “Stop Ahead” signs and painted roadway markings have been installed in both directions on Leroy Avenue, according to Darien Police.

Additional, temporary "New Stop Sign Ahead” signs have been placed in the area to provide motorists with advance warning as they get familiar with the new configuration.
