TDOT installs stop signs on Hwy 41 Tuesday morning. The flashing light at the intersection flashes yellow on Hwy 41 and red on Hwy 50.

The intersection of U.S. Highway 41 and State Highway 50 is known to be a dangerous one. For years travelers were made aware of the crossing with a yellow flashing light and signs to alert drivers on Hwy 50 that those traveling on US 41 are not required to stop and to use caution crossing the road. Though drivers on Hwy 50 are required to stop and two very large traffic signs are installed on the road, there have been numerous accidents due to drivers running the stop sign or not looking before entering traffic.

Recently, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) converted the two-way stop to a four-way without any warning. A four-way, or all-stop, intersection requires all vehicles to come to a stop before proceeding. It's typically marked with a stop sign for each approach, rather than a traffic light.
