COLORADO SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs at CR 16 & 53
Public Works requests approval to install traffic regulatory signs (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 16
and 53. South bound traffic would be stopped on WCR 53 as the roadway intersects WCR 16.
The most current traffic count for CR 16 was taken in September 2008 with an ADT of 122. The most current
traffic count for CR 53 was taken in September 2008 with an ADT of 47. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) section 26.05 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 53 in the south bound direction.
