SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs on CR 57 & CR 76
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 76
with CR 57. South bound traffic would be stopped on CR 57 at CR 76.
The traffic count for CR 57 was taken in October 2012 with an AADT of 31. The traffic count for CR 76 was
taken in October 2012 with an AADT of 97, both roadways are local roadways. CR 76 and CR 57 are both
gravel roadways. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) section 2B.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. There is limited
sight distance on CR 76. Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on CR 57 in the South bound
direction.
