SD DOT to Install All-Way Stop and Highway 81 and 18 Intersection on Monday

The South Dakota Department of Transportation is scheduled to install an all-way stop at the intersection of Highway 81 and Highway 18, north of Yankton and east of Menno on Monday.

The all-way stop is in response to a vehicle collision that resulted in the deaths of a Scotland man and his son in June.

Yankton Area Engineer, Greg Rothschadl, says that “Safety on the roadways is our number one priority”.

Rothschadl says that “The decision to add all-way stop controls, rumble strips, and advanced warning signage featuring flashing beacons, will advance safety on our roadways for the traveling public.”

The SD DOT is asking travelers to be aware of crews working in that intersection on Monday.
