When the highest 8-hour approach volume (total of both approaches) on the minor street is greater than 30% of the total volume on all approaches for the same 8 hours, and tile total 3-hour approach volume for all approaches averages at least 250 vehicles per hour, and 00 other stop sign or traffic signal on the major street is located within 800 feet; 4. When 3 or more accidents of types correctable by all-way stop control have occurred at the intersection within a recent 12-month period; for intersections within 800 feet ofa school (K-12), the threshold is 2 or more accidents; 5.
