MEMORANDUM
TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: March 13, 2017
FROM: Janet Lundquist, Public Works
SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs on CR 17 & CR 22
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 17
with CR 22. South bound traffic would be stopped on CR 17 at CR 22.
The traffic count for CR 17 was taken in September 2014 with an AADT of 118. The traffic count for CR 22 was
taken in July 2013 with an AADT of 278, both roadways are local gravel roadways. 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 south
bound direction on CR 17 at CR 22.
