COLORADO SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs at CR 96 & 27
Public Works requests approval to install traffic regulatory signs (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 96
and 27. East and West bound traffic would be stopped on WCR 96 as the roadway intersects WCR 27.
The most current traffic count for CR 96 was taken in October 2008 with an ADT of 60. The most current traffic
count for CR 27 was taken in October 2008 with an ADT of 120. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) section 2B.05 suggests that stop signs should be placed at Intersection of a less important road with
a main road when application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable
compliance with the law. Based on the MUTCD Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on WCR 96
in the east and west bound direction due to sight distance issues.
