COLORADO SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs at CR 29 & 40
Public Works requests approval to install traffic regulatory signs (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 40
and 29. North and South bound traffic would be stopped on WCR 29 as the roadway intersects WCR 40.
The most current traffic count for CR 40 was taken in March 2008 with an AADT of 282. The most current
traffic count for CR 29 was taken in November 2008 with an AADT of 162. 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 WCR 29 in
the North and south bound directions due to consistency with the other traffic control devices in the area.
