Streets turned into one-way roadways in South Boston because of last winter’s heavy snowfall will return to allowing traffic in both directions on Wednesday, the mayor’s office announced on Friday.

The Boston Transportation Department will begin removing one-way signs from the streets on May 11, and those roads will be fully open for two way-traffic two days later, the office of Mayor Martin J. Walsh said in a statement. The streets were converted to one-way under the South Boston Emergency Transportation Reconfiguration, which took effect on Feb. 14, to improve public safety during the winter’s historic s snow accumulation.

The decision to remove the signs comes after the city considered keeping the streets one-way permanently, because of the effect on traffic flow. However, after two community meetings with residents where the city “received constructive feedback,” the signs will be removed, Walsh’s office said.
