In response to accident, Destin City Council-member Prebble Ramswell got the discussion of a 3-way stop sign added to the council agenda. City staff then took initial steps to address the safety concerns beginning with flashing beacons installed at the crosswalk.

Message board at the intersection of Main Street and Kelly Street in Destin, FL. warning drivers to be prepared to stop.

Over the last several weeks, a traffic message board was placed near the intersection to alert motorists of the new traffic control devices being installed. According to the city, this message board will be out there for a few more days as drivers get used to the new stop.
