27th AVE NE / Pahl AVE NE AREA TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF ST ANTHONY VILLAGE WSB PROJECT NO. 12064-000 PAGE 20 6. Yield signs – Yield signs are typically used in locations where there is confusion on which vehicle approaching the intersection has the right of way. These signs can be used to help clearly assign the right-of-way at an intersection with a balanced traffic flow on all approaches. 7. Stop signs – The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices outlines warrants for the installation of stop signs. These warrants include criteria for installation of both all-way or 2-way stops. In addition, stop signs could be considered where sight distance cannot be improved. 8. Turn Lanes/By-Pass Lanes – The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Road Design Manual and Local Road Research Board have established criteria for the addition of turn lanes or by-pass lanes based on traffic volumes and crash data. Specifically, the number of turning vehicles vs opposing vehicles and/or rear-end type crashes. Speed Reduction Improvements Speed improvements include items that would provide potential benefits by reducing speeding in the neighborhood. These improvements could include: 1. Speed limit signs – In locations where the ADT volume is over 750 vehicles per day and there is currently not a posted speed limit sign and the 85% speed is over the posted speed limit, consideration should be given to installing speed limit signs. 2. Driver feed-back (dynamic) speed signs – Driver feed-back signs are signs that display the actual speed of a vehicle as it drives by the location. On neighborhood streets where the 85% speed is determined to be greater than 3mph above the posted speed limit, a driver feed-back sign could be used to warn the driver that they are speeding. 3. Additional enforcement – Based on the traffic speed data collected if the 85% speed is up to 3mph over the posted speed limit, consideration should be given to requesting additional police enforcement. Pedestrian Safety Improvements Pedestrian safety improvements include items that would provide potential benefits by reducing conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians or increasing awareness of pedestrians in the neighborhood. These improvements could include:
