Subject: Placement of Stop Signs at WCR 7 and WCR 28
The Colorado State Patrol requested that Weld County Engineering Department consider placing •
stop signs due to the number of intersection related accidents.
A traffic study has since been done revealing 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 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.
