WARREN, Ohio - Officials are hoping that an accident-prone intersection in Warren will become safer after an adjustment they made.

The intersection of Southern and Northwest Boulevard will now operate as a four-way stop.

The Warren Traffic Commission says it did a traffic study that showed 40 accidents there between 2010 and this year.

The commission voting unanimously today for an emergency action to turn it into a four-way stop.

Until a few weeks ago it had been a two-way stop.

The city has since placed four LED flashing stop signs at the intersection.
