Counties without stoplights

[mgk920]

Not sure if this was mentioned - but Lafayette County is the only one I know of for Wisconsin that lacks traffic lights.

There are, to the best of my knowledge, no stop-and-go lights in Florence and Menominee Counties, too.

Pepin County was on that list less then ten years ago.

Pepin County was on that list less then ten years ago.

It's not now.  When WisDOT replaced and relocated the US 10 bridge over the Chippewa River in Durand, they added a signal at the new 10/25/85 junction.

Yup, they also put one in at Main St as part of that project as well.

Are there any stop-and-go lights in Bayfield Co now? WisDOT recently rebuilt US 2/WI 13 (middle intersection just west of Ashland) as a roundabout.

Adams County WI had been mentioned as to having no stop lights. Wrong I found two in Adams one at WI-13 and North St the other at WI-13 and Grove St. A 3rd one exist at WI-13 and Hwy D in the northern part of the county.

Esmeralda County, Nevada doesn't have any that I know of.

In Texas: Terrell, Jeff Davis, Motley, Borden (in addition to Loving, already mentioned).

Oldham County

Esmeralda County, Nevada doesn't have any that I know of.

Noted on page 1, along with the other four Nevada counties that are absent of signals.

Yeah I saw it minutes after I posted it.  I didn't occur to me that this thread had been around since circa 2012...dug up from the grave I suppose.  I was thinking about Utah though...Wayne County to be specific.  I don't recall any traffic lights there now that I think about it.  I want to say Daggett County didn't either but despite being there just months ago I don't recall FOR CERTAIN there wasn't anything around the Flaming Gorge Dam.

That leper colony in Hawaii.

Kalawao County.

In fact, I believe there are no stoplights on the whole of Molokai, but unfortunately it's not a county unto itself. Are there any signals on Kauai?

Yes, several in and around Lihue.

I remember when the entire island of Kauai had just two traffic lights, both in Lihue on Rice Street. Now, Kuhio Highway (Hawaii 56) alone from Lihue to Kapaa probably has at least a dozen.

Madison County, AR is about to receive their first (in Huntsville).

Going to go ahead and necrobump this (it contributes to the thread so it should be fine)

I'm pretty sure Franklin County, FL has no stoplights, although it does have a set of flashing beacons in Apalachicola. Keweenaw County, MI, also appears to lack traffic lights, however there is a set of Beacons in Copper Harbor. I believe Hyde County in NC lacks them as well, and if that's the case, it may be the only county in North Carolina that lacks them. I've extensively street viewed my state and Hyde County was my first guess as to what counties in North Carolina might not have them.

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).

Well I know Saginaw County (county I live in) is out of the picture for this question. Lake County is strange, believe it or not it's the poorest county in the entire state.

In Illinois, I believe that Putnam, Cumberland, Edwards, Pope, Greene, Henderson, Calhoun, Hardin, Gallatin, and Stark counties all do not have full traffic lights at any intersection of roads. There is a drawbridge over the Illinois River at the Calhoun/Greene county line where traffic is controlled by a traffic light, however.

Ford County has at least one traffic light along Illinois Route 9 in Gibson City, and Henderson County has at least one traffic light along U.S. Route 34.

[Aaron Camp]

I've never seen any definitive list for Indiana, but the best I can figure, Crawford, Fountain, and Ohio counties are all without stop lights.

Attica in Fountain County has at least two stoplights. I would agree on Crawford and Ohio Counties.

I wouldn't think that Warren County has any.

Forgot about Attica for Fountain County.  In Warren County, US41/IN55 intersection has a stop light.

According to Google Maps Streetview, the US-41/IN-55 intersection in Warren County (northeast of Williamsport) lacks a traffic light as of November of 2016; there was one there in the past, although it had an unusual configuration, with the traffic light for southbound traffic on IN-55 being positioned on the other side of a non-movable bridge from the intersection proper. As a result, Warren County no longer has any full traffic lights.

There are at least four stoplights in Fountain County that I'm aware of: in addition to the two in Attica, Covington and Veedersburg have one each.

To take a stab at extending this discussion to Canada:

All three administrative divisions of Nunavut Territory probably still have no stoplights. I visited the principal cities of all three in 2014, and saw no stoplights there. There had been some discussion of replacing a set of four-way stop signs in one of them (Iqaluit, which is also the territorial capital) with a stoplight, which would've been Nunavut's first one. That proposal was not adopted.

Stoplights are abundant in the capitals of Yukon and the Northwest Territories. However, some of NT's outlying county equivalents may be stoplight-free, especially the Dehcho and Sahtu regions (the latter I visited only an outlying rural area rather than any of its urbanized areas).

I've changed the Subject line to what I originally misread it as just now. How does that affect the discussion?

There is a pedestrian signal in Cambridge Bay: https://goo.gl/maps/DK8par3Q3kx

Henderson County has one on US 34 at Carmen Road:  Streetview.

My first thought was the Vatican, recognizing especially the very limited vehicle access permitted. Street View is largely non-existent. But it appears there may be a traffic light at the Porta Perugina, which is also the access point closest to the Domus Sanctae Marthae (where Pope Francis lives). The light would be for the purpose of controlling entrance and exit rather than for more "normal" purposes. (I'm not sure whether there is a light on the Vatican side of the wall, but there's one on the Italian side.)

That leper colony in Hawaii.

I think that Molokai is part of Honolulu county.

I think that Molokai is part of Honolulu county.

Molokai is split between two counties: Maui and Kalawao.
Kalawao County is just the Kalaupapa Peninsula, which is the leper colony.
The rest of the island is part of Maui County.

In Washington State:

Ferry County- seat is Republic
Garfield County- seat is Pomeroy
Lincoln County- seat is Davenport (*However, there is a 4-way flasher at the intersection of US 2 and WA 28 in Davenport.)
San Juan County- seat is Friday Harbor (county has no state routes and consists entirely of islands.)
Skamania County- seat is Stevenson (There are a few 4-way flashers in Carson.)
Wahkiakum County- seat is Cathlamet

[ModernDayWarrior]

Reynolds and Iron counties in Missouri both have no stoplights.
