SUBJECT: Temporary Stop Signs on CR 53 at CR 64
A Request Resolution from the BOCC directing Public Works to maintain traffic regulatory signs (Stop Signs
R1-1). This is to address the temporary solution of the increase traffic caused by the detour route for the CR 53
& CR 60.5 construction project. The signs will be in place from October 24, 2012 to November 12, 2012.
The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) section 26.06 suggests that stop signs should be
placed at Intersection where a restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately
observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway. Due to the roadway construction in this area the
detour has had an increase of traffic. Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on WCR 53 in the east
and west bound direction due to the detour traffic; this will create a temporary 4 way stop condition at this
intersection.
