M »4ORANDUM <br />To: Kenneth E. Weltzin <br />From: Paul Kirkwold fir <br />Subject: Comments Regarding In -place Control Signs at County'Road C and <br />Lake Shore Avenue <br />Date: April 11, 1979 <br />As per request the following comments are offered regarding in -place signs <br />and controls at the above location: <br />1) The location is a quad approach intersection at approximately right <br />angles. There are no unusual geometries near the control points that <br />would require special consideration as compared to several others <br />throughout the county. <br />2) Normal traffic services policy requires the installation of 36" stop <br />signs at these locations. Federal and state regulations require the <br />placement of a 30" sign as a minimum. Larger signs are placed at the <br />discretion of the jurisdiction. Thirty -six inch (36 ") signs are in place <br />at this location (see drawing), <br />Normal traffic services policy requires the installation of 36" stop <br />ahead signs at these locations. Federal and state regulations reauire <br />the placement of a 30" sign as a minimum. Larger signs are placed at <br />the discretion of the jurisdiction. These regulations further state <br />installation is only required when sufficient visibility distance is <br />not present to permit the driver to bring his vehicle to a stop at the <br />sign. A 36" sign is in place for westbound and a 48" sign is in place <br />for eastbound (see drawing). <br />At 40 m.p.h. sufficient stopping distance is 300 feet. This is the dis- <br />tance required for normal deceleration of passenger cars. <br />3) <br />4 +) <br />13 <br />
