FOUR-WAY STOP PILOT PROJECT DOWNTOWN FERGUS FALLS
The City of Fergus Falls is launching a 4-way stop pilot project in downtown Fergus Falls. From November 1 through December 1, 2025, the traffic signals at the intersections of Lincoln Ave & Mill St and Lincoln Ave & Court St will operate in flashing red mode, functioning as four-way stops. This temporary change will demonstrate how a four-way stop pattern affects traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, in the downtown area.

Note: During the pilot project, "Walk" and "Don't Walk" signals on the flashing stoplights will not be active. As a reminder, drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. 

Following the pilot period, the City will review feedback and performance before determining whether permanent adjustments are warranted. A second pilot project may be planned for Spring 2026.

For questions or to share feedback during the pilot, please contact the Public Works department at (218) 332-5424 or fill out the feedback form on the home page of the city’s website www.fergusfallsmn.gov
