The \u201cShortcut to Stanley<\/a>\u201d has become busier and busier since it opened just over a year ago. The only traffic on the road back then was headed straight to Stanley Marketplace<\/a> or maybe to Amina Auto<\/a> to fix a vehicle. Nowadays Stanley is attracting business from every direction, and people from Aurora are using Dayton as a through street. For the most part, this isn\u2019t a big deal. Except that for some reason, a number of drivers insist on treating the intersection as if it is a 4-way stop. \u201cSo many times I am headed up Dayton to turn right to go to Stanley,\u201d said Eastbridge resident Steve Nielson. \u201cI\u2019m waiting for the traffic on 25th traffic to clear, and suddenly, the driver just stops, waiting for me. That\u2019s nice and all, but it\u2019s not a 4-way stop.\u201d Nielson says this has happened to him on several occasions. \u201cThere is a dip in the road there for sure, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to stop.\u201d Other residents have driven in to the same issue. \u201cIt\u2019s really annoying, and dangerous,\u201d says North Central Park resident Amber Gerber. \u201cWhy are they stopping? Are they going to go right when I do? Is someone going to go around them and hit me?\u201d City officials have been alerted of the issue, and agree something needs to be done. \u201cWhen I drove over there just to observe the sight, it happened to me first thing,\u201d said Aurora City Traffic Engineer Mark Lewis. \u201cIt\u2019s very likely we just add two stop signs and call it a day. Must be that our brains think there should be a stop sign there so just fill in the blank.\u201d Until the issue is resolved, area drivers are reminded that they should obey actual street signs, not ones they think should be there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
