The City of Knoxville wants to remind pedestrians around Market Square to look both ways before crossing.

Starting tomorrow (Tue. June 3) after rush hour, new traffic patterns go into effect. Some streets that were previously one-way will now be two-way streets, specifically sections of Locust and Walnut Streets and Summer Place. Market Street will remain one-way, but in the opposite direction, going North instead of South.

"We want to remind everyone, both walkers and drivers, that these changes are going to become a reality Tuesday," said Madeleine Weil, the city’s deputy director of Policy & Communications. "Folks need to remember to be on their toes until they get used to the change and it becomes a habit to look both ways when crossing what has always been a one-way street."

According to the City of Knoxville, "the goal of the new street circulation plan is to simplify traffic around the Market Square area, making it easier for visitors to find the square and easier for drivers to circulate around it."

Be careful out there!
