FROM: Diane M Houghtaling, Traffic Engineer
� SUBJECT: Intersection Study WCR 123 and WCR 80
COLORADO
The Department of Public Works received a complaint that sight distance was limited at lie
intersection of WCR 123 and WCR 80 and a stop sign was needed. A sight-distance study was
conducted. The intersection has insufficient stopping sight distance for a 55 mph roadway du Io
a farm site on the northwest corner and a hill crest on WCR 123. People are presently slow ing f)r
the turn and then proceeding when the road is clear. After a vehicle has entered WCR 123 i her is
insufficient distance for the WCR 123 driver to alter his speed and allow the entering vehich to
accelerate. A review of accidents produced no accidents in the last three years.
The warrants for a stop sign per section 2B-5 of the Manual of Uniijhrm Traffic Control Devices,Ir.�:
1. Intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal
right-of-way rule is unduly hazardous. The normal right-of-way rule seems to he
working at this intersection.
2. Street entering a through highway or street. WCR 80 tees into this intersectioc, 44( 1?
123 extends several miles north and south of this intersection.
3. Unsignalized intersection in a signalized area. There are no signals in this aniu
4. Other intersection where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and seri xis
accident record indicates a need for control by the STOP sign. There is insu/Jici:a
distance at this intersection.
I recommend a Stop sign be installed on WCR 80 at WCR 123.
