<br /> <br />A. Minimum traffic volume: If the daily (ADT) traffic volume approaches <br />the intersection on each leg adds up to more than 1,000 vehicles in <br />a day, the intersection is a candidate for an intersection control <br />study (EB+WB+NB+SB = 1000+) or, <br /> <br />B. Accident history: If there are more than two reported crashes per year in <br />the previous two years or, three accidents in the previous 12 month <br />period, of a type that is correctable with stop sign control (i.e. right <br />angle or turning in front of another vehicle), an intersection is a <br />candidate for an intersection control study. <br /> <br />Step 4: Intersection Control Study <br />If the initial evaluation concludes that an intersection control study is necessary, <br />the following procedures will be followed to determine which type of traffic <br />control is required. <br /> <br />All-Way Stop Sign Control: <br />1. If the major street traffic volume approaching the intersection for <br />each leg adds up to more than 1,500 vehicles per day and the minor <br />street traffic volume approaches the intersection for each leg adds <br />up to be greater than 750 vehicles per day. <br />2. There have been more than two reported crashes, per year in the <br />previous two years or, three reported crashes in the previous year <br />of a type correctable with stop sign installation. <br />3. If the pedestrian volumes crossing any approach is more than 15 <br />pedestrians per hour during the peak traffic hours. <br />4. If the safe stopping sight distance on the uncontrolled approach is <br />restricted by less than 100 feet by horizontal and/or vertical <br />roadway alignment or other permanent obstructions. <br />5. If the 85th percentile speed in the intersection is greater than 35 <br />mph and the highest reported speed with two or more observations <br />is greater than 45 mph. <br /> <br />If condition No. 1 and two other of the five conditions outlined above <br />apply, this intersection is a candidate for all-way stop sign control. <br /> <br />If the intersection meets the requirements, as outlined above, it is considered a candidate <br />for an all-way stop sign control. Based on the analysis a recommendation will be made <br />to City Council to either install or not to install the stop sign control. <br /> <br />If the intersection does not meet these requirements no further study will be completed <br />without direction from the City’s Traffic Safety Review Committee or City Council. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />None at this time <br /> <br />Attachments
