MEMORANDUM
TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: June 21, 2016
FROM: Janet Lundquist, Public Works
SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs on CR 61.5 & CR 66
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR
61.5 with CR 66. South bound traffic would be stopped on CR 61.5 at CR 66.
The traffic count for CR 61.5 was taken in July 2014 with an AADT of 96. The traffic count for CR 66 was taken
in October 2015 with an AADT of 123, both roadways are local roadways. CR 61.5 and CR 66 are both 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 on CR 61.5 in the South bound direction.
