VCOUNTY FROM: Janet Carter, Public Works
SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Sign at CR 76.5 & CR 21
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR
76.5 & CR 21 and CR 76.5 & CR 21. West bound traffic would be stopped on CR 76.5 as the roadway
intersects CR 21.
The most current traffic count for CR 76.5 was taken in March 2008 with an AADT of 148. CR 76.5 is a gravel
road. 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 76.5 in the west bound direction due to consistency of signage in this area.
