While there are many who never saw it, Orofino used to have a stop light at the corner of Michigan and Johnson avenues. According to Roy Clay the light was taken down many years ago because the city could no longer finds parts for it. Their intention was to purchase a used one from the Idaho Transporation Department. Unfortunately, they found that with new regulations and technology, they would need to purchase a new one. That was not financially possible. A four-way stop was installed and remains to this day.
