Four new stop signs to be placed on KU campus

LAWRENCE — Four new stop signs will be installed Friday, Aug. 15, near traffic booths on the University of Kansas campus. The signs will help slow traffic, increase pedestrian safety and regulate campus traffic.

The new stop signs will be placed at traffic booths at the west end of Jayhawk Boulevard for eastbound traffic entering near the Chi Omega fountain; the north side of the intersection of Sunflower Road and Sunnyside Avenue for northbound traffic; the south side of the intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and 14th Street for southbound traffic; and at the south end of Mississippi Street near the intersection of Memorial Drive for southbound Mississippi Street traffic. Stop bars will be painted on the pavement. Plans to replace the existing signage at the booths are under way.

The signs will be installed and enforced by KU Public Safety by the end of the day Aug. 15. Students will return to campus beginning Sunday, Aug. 17. The first day of classes is Thursday, Aug. 21. A “stop ahead” sign with orange flags will be placed ahead of each sign to alert motorists. The signs will be enforced at all hours, whether or not there are attendants in the parking booths.
