01/26/2015 ORIGINAL RESOLUTION NO. 15388 RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AUTHORIZING THE REMOVAL OF STOP SIGNS ON FERNSIDE STREET AT CARSON STREET WHEREAS, Section 2B.07, of the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, states: Multi-Way Stop Applications Guidance - the following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multi-way stop sign installation: • 01 Multi-way stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist. Safety concems associated with multi-way stops include pedestrians, bicyclists, and all road users expecting other road users to stop. Multi-way stop control is used where the volume of tra�c on the intersecting roads is approximately equal. • 02 The restrictions on the use of STOP signs described in Section 28.04 also apply to multi-way stop applications. • Guidance: • 03 The decision to install multi-way stop control should be based on an engineering study. • 04 The following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multi-way STOP sign installation: • A. Where traffic control signals are justi�ed, the multi-way stop is an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic control signal. • 8. Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such crashes include right-tum and left-tum collisions as well as right-angle collisions. • C. Minimum volumes: • 1. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; and • 2. 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 the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour; but ATTY/RES0.3046/CC APPROVING STOP SIGN REMOVALS RESO.#15388 ON FERNSIDE AT CARSON MUFF#701 REV:O1-15-15 VR Page 1 of 2
