Cranbrook, BC (August 12, 2025) – A temporary 4-way stop has been installed at the intersection of Baker Street and 10th Avenue S after recent electrical damage to the traffic lights.
“We discovered the intersection’s traffic lights had failed due to an electrical surge from a recent lightning storm in the City,” says Jason Perrault, Deputy Director of Public Works. “The intersection is currently configured as a 4-way stop until further notice.”
Public Works Staff are installing more permanent affixed 4-way stop signage in the coming days as a temporary traffic solution for the downtown intersection.
Given the recent electrical failure of the traffic lights, Engineering and Development Services will be undertaking a traffic study of the intersection to determine a safe and cost-effective solution, which may include either a full traffic light replacement, a modified intersection layout, a permanent 4-way stop, or another alternate solution.
The City will provide future updates regarding the intersection once the traffic study has been completed.
