STOP SIGN COMPLIANCE STUDY <br />isStudies were performed to evaluate drivers compliance to the multi-wav atop <br />signs on Lee Street. Observations were made during the morning and evening <br />peak hours. Driver compliance was classified into the following categories: <br />1. Voluntary Pull Stop <br />2. Stopped by Traffic <br />3. Practically Stopped (0-3 MPH) <br />4. Non-Stoppinq (Greater than 3 MPH) <br />Table 2 summarizes the stop siqn compliance study data completed in 1990, <br />1982, and 1985, for all three m,:lti-way stop intersections. <br />TABLE 2: LEE STREET STOP SIGN COMPLIANCE STUDY <br />Voluntary PvI1 Stop <br />11.8% <br />25.5% <br />14.5% <br />Stopped by Traffic <br />2.1% <br />4.4% <br />3.9% <br />Practically Stopped <br />62.5% <br />40.9% <br />55.6% <br />Non -Stopping <br />23.6% <br />28.2% <br />25.4% <br />Table 2 shows that over the five years that the data were collected, <br />compliance with the stop signs did not charge significantly. On average, morn <br />than 25% of the drivers on Lee Street did not come to a stop for the stop <br />signs and only 14.5% came to a complete stop. The probable reason for this <br />was that the majority of drivers using Lee Street were local area residents <br />who knew that there would he little or no conflicts at these multi -way stop <br />intersections. Consequently, few drivers adhered to the full stop requirement <br />of the atop signs. <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />0487T <br />
