TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: August 13, 2014
o o u N T Y PFROM: Janet Lundquist, Public Works
SUBJECT: Installation of Stop Signs at Various Locations
Public Works requests approval to install a traffic regulatory sign (Stop sign R1-1) at the following intersections:
Direction
E/W Road N/S Road Stopped Comments
80 135 EB T-intersection
82 131 WB T-intersection
110 119 NB T-intersection, SD problems
104 115 SB T-intersection
104 111 SB T-intersection
104 107 SB T-intersection
104 103 NB/SB
104 105 NB T-intersection
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 the
installation of these stop signs due to the drastic increase in traffic and for consistency of signage in this area.
