Counties without stoplights

Even though it seems like I see at least one new stoplight every year, there are some counties that still don't have any stoplights.

Lake County in Michigan has two flashing lights (both intersections of M-37 and US-10). However, there are no full stoplights in the county. Benzie County only has one (the north intersection of US-31 and M-115 in Benzonia) and so does Oceana County (State St and Washington St in Hart).

I suspect a good portion of the counties in central Nebraska's Sand Hills region do not have any.  There's probably large chunks of other states in the Great Plains region as well without any.

Union County, NM has seven.  one is in downtown Clayton, the county seat.  the other six belong to a friend of mine.

Jackson County, home to Walden, is the only county in Colorado without a traffic signal.

I've heard that Hamilton county, NY has no permanent stop light.

 I think Jefferson County, FL has none.  At least on US 19, from Perry to Thomasville, GA there are only flashers even in Downtown Monticello!  I have not been on US 90, though, but chances are if US 90 has none either than the rest of Jefferson does not.

Putnam Co IL, Stark Co IL, Adams Co WI, Calumet Co WI and Cherry Co NE to the best of my knowledge do not have a single stoplight. About 15 years ago or so, Marquette Co WI and Green Lake Co WI were also on that list.

There has been a traffic light in Chilton in Calumet Co for a long time, plus the NW corner of the county is in Appleton so there are some traffic lights in there or on a county line.

You can add Forest County, Florence County, Iron County, and Bayfield County to the list for Wisconsin as well.

The only Minnesota counties I can think of at the moment are Fillmore and Dodge Counties.

I'm pretty sure that Glasscock Co., GA doesn't have a traffic light.  The same could possibly be true for GA's smallest county in population, Taliaferro, which could also be the smallest county in population with a major interstate running through it (I-20).

In TN, I don't think Van Buren Co. has a traffic light.  It's biggest intersection of TN 111 and TN 30 is grade separated with a connecting ramp and stop signs.  The smallest county in TN in population, Pickett, may have one really old traffic light in its county seat of Byrdstown, but not 100% sure if it is still working.

That leper colony in Hawaii.

Kalawao County.

In Alaska, I'm pretty sure Northwest Arctic (Kotzebue) and Yakutat boroughs are stop-light free.  Probably many of the other boroughs as well (Aleutians East, Lake and Peninsula, North Slope at least, I think also Haines and Skagway if you don't count the stoplights at U.S. customs stations), though I haven't gotten around those others enough to be sure.  Ditto some of the more lightly-populated census areas, like Wade Hampton and Prince of Wales-Hyder.

Nevada counties without traffic signals (to the best of my knowledge): Esmeralda, Eureka, Lander, Lincoln, Storey.

That's only 5 of out 17. I expected more counties without signals in Nevada due to the rural nature of the state. There are several counties that only have one or a handful of signals though.

There are no traffic signals in Owsley, Menifee and Elliott counties in Kentucky. Years ago, when I was a kid, there was a traffic light in Sandy Hook, Ky. (Elliott County) but it was removed sometime in the 1970s and has never been replaced.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I was just there. It's a stoplight now.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

I've not been to Modoc County in California, but I've read that it either has no stoplights at all or just one, likely in Alturas.

Piute County in Utah doesn't have any stoplights, while the closest that neighboring Garfield County comes is a flashing red light setup (no yellow, no green) in Panguitch at the US-89/UT-143 junction.

I can't believe this, but after some quick Street-Viewing, it appears that Millard County--which I swore had at least one in Fillmore and/or Delta--has none.

AFAIK, these Virginia Counties still do not have a stoplight:
Highland Co, VA
Charles City Co, VA
Mathews Co, VA
Fluvanna Co, VA
Craig Co, VA
Bath Co, VA
Cumberland Co, VA

Some Virginia Counties have just one:
Floyd Co
King and Queen Co
Nelson Co
