1861 MEMORANDUM
TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: November 8, 2012
COUNTY FROM: Janet Carter, Public Works
SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs on CR 65
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory signs (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersections of CR
65 with CR 52. North and South bound traffic would be stopped on CR 65 at CR 52.
The traffic count for CR 65 was taken in May 2008 with an AADT of 30. The traffic count for CR 52 was taken
in May 2008 with an AADT of 94; both county roads are gravel roads. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) section 26.04 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. All of the other intersections in this area are controlled
intersections with the exception of this intersection. Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on CR 65
& CR 52 in the north and south bound direction.
