CONWAY — Stoplights at the Four Corners of Conway Village give traffic turning from Route 16 a green light even when there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk, the town engineer told selectmen Tuesday.
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation believes this is acceptable because pedestrians are given a head start of a few seconds, and otherwise traffic on Route 16 would back up.
