ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A lot of downtown intersections are seeing some major changes.

Intersections to be temporary four-way stops:

• Coal & 8th

• Lead & 8th

• Silver & 8th

• Silver & 6th

• Silver & 5th

• Silver & 4th

• Silver & 2nd (2-way to 4-way)

• Roma & 5th

• Roma & 4th

The city is working on converting eight intersections with traffic lights to four-way stops.

This is the result of a study done in 2014.

Some of those intersections are on 8th street at Coal and Lead.

The hope is to encourage more pedestrian and bicycle usage.

The city will study the effectiveness of these changes.

The changes won’t go into effect until early next month when all the intersections will be converted.
