Uncontrolled/Side-Street Stop Controlled Crosswalk <br />Form Letter <br />Dear XXXX, <br />Thank you again for reaching out to us. You have requested that the City add a new marked crosswalk <br />across "Requested Intersection". <br />This intersection is currently uncontrolled. An uncontrolled location is a crosswalk at an intersection without <br />a stop control on the approach to the crossing (meaning there is no STOP sign for mainline traffic on XXXX <br />Road). <br />For clarification, every intersection is a crosswalk. Adding marked crosswalks alone will not make crossings <br />safer, nor will they necessarily result in more vehicles stopping for pedestrians. Crosswalk markings are <br />installed to provide guidance for pedestrians who are crossing roadways by defining and delineating paths <br />on intersection approaches or across the street. To maximize effectiveness, marked crosswalks should be <br />installed carefully and selectively. <br />The City uses specific guidance when evaluating requests to install new marked crosswalks at uncontrolled <br />locations. Marked crosswalks will be considered when the following criteria are met: <br />If you have any questions, please let me know. <br />40 DECEMBER 2017 1 LOCAL ROAD RESEARCH BOARD <br />
