South bound traffic would be stopped on CR 17 at CR 28. The traffic count for CR 17 was taken in March 2012 with an AADT of 86. The traffic count for CR 28 was taken in March 2012 with an AADT of 69; 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. Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on CR 17 & CR 28 in the south bound direction. 2012-3464 November 28,2012 C:\Users\egesick\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\XIK6CP0S\BOCC 112812 SS.DOC Hello
