Hamburg intersection to become 4-way stop


October 2, 2015: On southbound US 275 at IA 333 in Hamburg, you can see “Traffic from left does not stop” in yellow under the stop sign.

Hamburg’s key highway intersection is getting a change.

The intersection of US 275 and IA 333, which since 2003 has been IA 333’s east end, is being changed from a three-way stop to a four-way stop. The Iowa DOT says the change will take place Friday.

Until this change, northbound 275 traffic coming from the west could turn north and follow 275 or go straight ahead or turn without stopping. The fact that it’s a three-way stop at a four-way intersection could lead to confusion, understandably.
