Previous traffic studies on the four signals have shown that the sites do not meet current signal warrant thresholds and are not expected to meet them in the future, a press release from the City of Springfield said.
Following the 90-day evaluation, the signals will be covered for 60 days.
If during the 60-day period there are no increases in traffic-related incidents, the signals will be removed, according to a press release from the city.
