Counties without stoplights

[mgk920]

Never seen one in Kennedy County in Texas, but the last time I drove through there was a few years ago.

I seriously doubt that Loving County, TX has any, either.

Not sure how to describe the situation for Worth County, Iowa. There are two installations of stoplights, one in downtown Northwood (the intersection where SB US 65 turns east for two blocks) and one at the intersection immediately west of the 105 exit for I-35, next to Diamond Jo Casino. However, both have flashing red lights and have 4 way stops installed.

If it is not working normally and cycling through its phases, then IMHO, for this thread's purposes, it is not counted as a traffic signal.

I'm honestly not sure if Alabama has any counties without at least one traffic signal controlled intersection. Coosa County gets close, but the town of Goodwater, AL, quite literally has the only traffic light in the entire county.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were no signal-less counties in Alabama, simply because Alabama's counties are generally bigger than counties in neighboring GA or TN and so are more likely to include a town big enough for a light.

Even Choctaw and Washington in the sparser-populated west side of the state have one at their busiest in-town intersections.

I wouldn't be surprised if every county in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and/or New York State had at least one traffic light. From my travels throughout those states, I seem to recall that they love having traffic lights at rural highway junctions. Is that true of any one of those states?

Also, it seems like a pretty sure bet that every county in New Jersey has traffic lights - the state doesn't have that many counties to start with (21), and most (if not all) of the counties probably include some of either NYC suburbs, Philly suburbs, or shore towns. Am I right with that guess?

Indiana has a couple counties with no lights.

Hamilton County, NY doesn't have any permanent traffic lights.

With North Dakota, I think it would be easier to list the counties that do have stoplights.

Here they are, as far as I can tell:

Barnes
Burleigh
Cass
Dickey
Grand Forks
McKenzie
Morton
Mountrail
Pembina
Ramsey
Ransom
Richland
Rolette
Stark
Stutsman
Traill
Walsh
Ward
Williams

I was surprised that Dickey County and Pembina County made the list and Mercer and McLean Counties didn't make it. Let me know if I missed any.

Warren County is one I know for sure that doesn't.

I believe every county seat in Ohio has at least one stoplight.

I'm still trying to figure out where the stoplight in Keweenaw County is unless they're counting that one in Copper Harbor. That's a stop sign so yeah there's a light in the air but it's not a traffic light that changes from green to yellow to red, it flashes red all the time.

Jefferson County, Florida in the panhandle just east of Tallahassee also has no lights. You'd think there would be one in Monticello, but US 19 and US 90 meet at a roundabout there.

Glades County, FL has only three along US 27. One was added along a rural part of US 27 at SR 29, which is highly unusual to have one at an extremely rural intersection.

Originally in 1991 the first time I drove it there were none on US 27.

Also I mentioned it years ago here, but I'm not going to be like a few others on here and call you out on it.
