DelDOT installs new all-way stop in Milton
The Delaware Department of Transportation installed a new all-way stop control at the intersection of Shingle Point Road, Harbeson Road and Chestnut Street in Milton.
DelDOT flaggers were on site June 12, as the new stop signs were implemented. Signs were already present at Shingle Point Road and Chestnut Street, but new signs were put up on Route 5 at the intersection.
DelDOT officials planned for an all-way stop at the intersection back in February, citing crash data showing there were nine crashes between June 2020 and June 2023. In four, the contributing factor was either a passed stop sign or disregarded traffic signal. DelDOT’s data says the crash reports cite an inability to see vehicles heading southbound in five of the crashes. DelDOT’s data also indicates the approaches to the intersection did not meet required sight distances.
