HUNTINGDON'S FIRST TRAFFIC SIGNALS

Although Huntingdon, TN is a town of several thousand and has dozens of stop signs, there has not ever been (according to locals) traffic signals (for stopping and going) in the town. Now Huntingdon has traffic signals at the intersection of the 22/70 by-pass and 70 West Hwy. toward Jackson very near Wal-Mart. There are four signals and also four walking signals for pedestrians. This was a surprise to many of the Huntingdon residents who took "pride" in not having traffic signals. Huntingdon is a town larger than many others that have as many as five or six traffic signals.
