MEMORANDUM
TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: May 9, 2017
FROM: Janet Lundquist, Public Works
SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs on CR 98 & CR 29
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 98
with CR 29. East bound traffic would be stopped on CR 98 at CR 29.
Both roadways are gravel roadways. CR 98 is classified as a local roadway and CR 29 is classified as an
arterial roadway. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) section 26.04 suggests that stop
signs should be placed at an intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the
normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law. Public Works
recommends that traffic be stopped in the east bound direction on CR 98 at CR 29.
