SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs on CR 21 & CR 28
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the intersection of CR 21
with CR 28. East and West bound traffic would be stopped on CR 28 at CR 21.
The traffic count for CR 28 was taken in July 2013 with an AADT of 495. The traffic count for CR 21 was taken
in July 2013 with an AADT of 447, both roadways are collector roadways. CR 21 is paved and CR 28 is paved
east of CR 21 and Gravel west of CR 21. 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. Public Works has a policy in place to stop all gravel roadways that intersect a paved roadway. For
consistency if we stop one leg of a roadway we need to stop the other leg of a roadway; which requires that we
make this intersection a 3-way stop intersection. Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on CR 28 &
CR 21 in the East and West bound directions.
