STOP sign application is regulated by federal guidelines. STOP sign should be installed in a manner that minimizes the numbers of vehicles having to stop. In most cases, the street carrying the lowest volume of traffic should be stopped. In order to qualify for a multiway STOP control, the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for 8 hours during a day. Total vehicular volume entering intersection from major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of the day.
Preliminary multi-way stop warrant study was completed for this intersection with the approach volumes collected during a turning movement count on October 18, 2018. Since the federal warrants for multi-way stop control at this subject intersection are not satisfied, a multi-way stop control is not recommended.
