The Farmington City Council voted unanimously during an April 28 meeting to proceed with the removal of traffic signals at six intersections.
Those six intersections are not in compliance with the 2009 Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which are federal standards adopted by the city council.
It is possible the traffic signals could remain if some parameters are met including if the change causes an increase of vehicle crashes in the area.
