2. There have been more than two reported crashes, per year in the previous two years or, three reported crashes in the previous year of a type correctable with stop sign installation. 3. The pedestrian volumes across the minor approach (that which would be stopping) is more than 15 pedestrians per hour during peak traffic hours. 4. If the safe stopping sight distance of the minor approach is restricted by less than 100 feet by horizontal and/or vertical roadway alignment or by other permanent obstructions (see figure). If condition No. 1 and one other condition are met, this intersection would be a candidate for two-way stop sign control. All-Way Stop Sign Control: 1. If the major street traffic volume approaching the intersection for each leg adds up to more than 1,500 vehicles per day and the minor street traffic volume approaches the intersection for each leg adds up to be greater than 750 vehicles per day. 2. There have been more than two reported crashes, per year in the previous two years or, three reported crashes in the previous year of a type correctable with stop sign installation. 3. If the pedestrian volumes crossing any approach is more than 15 pedestrians per hour during the peak traffic hours. 4. If the safe stopping sight distance on the uncontrolled approach is restricted by less than 100 feet by horizontal and/or vertical roadway alignment or other permanent obstructions. 5. If the 85th percentile speed in the intersection is greater than 35 mph and the highest reported speed with two or more observations is greater than 45 mph. If condition No. 1 and two other of the five conditions outlined above apply, this intersection is a candidate for all-way stop sign control. If the intersection meets the requirements, as outlined above, for either a two-way or all-way stop sign control, the intersection is considered a candidate for stop sign control. Based on this analysis and further review by city staff and the Traffic Safety Committee, a recommendation will be made to City Council to either install or not to install the stop sign control. If the intersection does not meet these requirements no further study would be completed without direction from city council. A letter to the resident requesting the information, outlining the findings will be sent by the City Engineer. This letter will include the City’s policies for appeal of the engineer’s decision.
