Multiple drivers cited today...

Wisconsin 4-Way Stop Rules:

First to Arrive, First to Go: The primary rule is that the vehicle that arrives and stops first leaves first.

Simultaneous Arrival (Yield Right): If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.

Opposite Directions: If two vehicles arrive opposite each other, and both are going straight, they can go at the same time. If one is turning left, the vehicle going straight has the right-of-way.

Turning Left: Drivers making a left turn must yield to oncoming traffic going straight.

Please take note, as of today W. Allen & West Ave. intersection has been converted to a 4 way stop intersection.

Did you attend the first fundraiser hosted by the Rice Lake Family Restaurant, and wonder if Officer Prinsen’s coffee pouring skills have improved? Guess you’ll have to stop down and find out on June 16th, and compare his skills to Deputy Hulback and Nelson’s!

We hope to see you there!
