MEMORANDUM
TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: September 6, 2013
FROM: Janet Carter, Public Works
SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs on CR 36
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 3
with CR 36. East and West bound traffic would be stopped on CR 36 at CR 3.
The traffic count for CR 36 was taken in August 2013 with an AADT of 78. The traffic count for CR 3 was taken
in July 2013 with an AADT of 121; both county roads are gravel roads. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) section 2B.04 suggests that stop signs should be placed at an intersection of a less
important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to
provide reasonable compliance with the law. Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on CR 36 & CR
3 in the East and West bound directions.
