Placement of stop signs at(Weld County Road) WCR 27 and WCR 78.
A traffic study has been completed and has revealed that there are sufficient warrants to place stop
signs.
The warrants are:
1. Intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-
of-way rule is unduly hazardous.
Sight distance is restricted from two directions.
2. Street entering a through highway or street.
3. Unsignalized intersection in a signalized area.
4. Other intersections where a combination of high speed,restricted view,and serious accident
record indicates a need for control by a stop sign.
The intersection of wcr 27 and wcr 78 meets warrants number one and number four (see attached
diagram).Current traffic volumes dictate the need to stop traffic on WCR 27 at WCR 78.Thru traffic
will be maintained for road 78.
