Motorists need to be aware of a big change affecting an intersection south of High River.

The intersection in the M.D. of Foothills at Highways 2A and 540 used to be a 4-way stop, but now is a 2-way stop.

The stop signs have been taken out for anyone driving east-west.

One caller to our station says she had a close call when she stopped at the stop sign heading north-south and a vehicle going east-west didn't stop.

She hadn't noticed the stop signs were gone.

There's no word on when the change took effect.
