These traffic counts are typical residential volumes and are far short of the volumes required to meet all-way Stop Sign warrants.

Traffic Speeds: In addition to the traffic volumes, vehicle speed data was also collected on Arlo Lane. Below in Table 3 is a summary of speed data. Table 3 – Speed Data Summary Intersection Approach 85% Speed (mph) Highest Recorded Speed (mph) % Over Speed Limit Arlo Lane, Joseph Ct to Highland Dr 25 36 (2 occurrences) 9% As indicated in the table, the recorded speed is below the posted 30 mph speed limit. Based on this data, speeding does not appear to be an issue through the intersections. For low volume roadway such as Arlo Lane, installation of stop signs has been found to not control speed. In fact, it has been found that at intersections where vehicles do stop, the speed reduction is effective only in the immediate vicinity of the stop sign and frequently speeds are higher between intersections to make up for lost time. 4. Crash History: The existing crash history in this area was reviewed. It was determined that there have been no reported crashes at either intersection in the past 5 years.
