Four-way Stop Signs return to Third and Dow, Third and Plum

Two four-way stop signs have returned at the intersections of Third Street & Plum and Third Street & Dow Street in downtown Tipp City. The signs were reinstalled in their previous locations on the morning of February 3, along with warning signs to remind drivers of the four-way stops.

Earlier in January, informational signage was installed along Third Street near the two intersections to notify drivers of the upcoming traffic pattern changes. The city asks that drivers pay attention to the new traffic pattern and please drive carefully as the new signage goes into effect.

In November 2024, City Council voted to return the stop signs on Third Street at Plum and Dow. Removed in 2022 after a traffic study showed they weren’t needed, the sign removal generated traffic issues and citizen complaints over traffic and speed concerns, particularly concerning children’s safety issues at the crossings. After some discussion and review of a new city-performed traffic study, council agreed to return the signs.
