Intersection Changes at State Route 73 and Prospect Road in Highland County

During the week of April 27, 2026, work will begin to convert the intersection of State Route 73 and Prospect Road to an all-way stop. Currently, this intersection operates as a two-way stop requiring only traffic along Prospect Road to stop before entering or crossing SR 73.

A safety study of the intersection was conducted in 2025. The study found 15 total crashes between 2020-2025, all of which were angle crashes. As a result, ODOT will convert the intersection to an all-way stop in order to improve safety at the intersection.

Motorists will be alerted to upcoming changes through signage posted along SR 73 and Prospect Road.

ODOT will continue to monitor the intersection to ensure the all-way stop is operating as intended.

Throughout Ohio, ODOT is reviewing intersections to determine where all-way stops could make travel safer. The locations selected for conversion are where crash data found the most common type of crash was the result of a failure to stop or a failure to yield to cross-traffic that was not required to stop.
