FROM: Dean Dreher, Engineering Division /L/
SUBJECT: Placement of stop signs on WCR 28 at WCR 5
A concerned citizen requested the Weld County Engineering Department consider placing "stop"
signs at the intersection of WCR 28 and WCR 5 due to the restricted view.
I recommend the Board approve the installation of "stop" signs on WCR 28 on the eastbound
and westbound approaches to WCR 5.
A recent traffic study reveals that there are sufficient warrants to install stop signs at this
intersection. The attached diagram illustrates that WARRANT NO. 1 HAS BEEN MET.
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 T 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.
