CONVERSION OF "YIET "
SIGNS TO "STOP" SIGNS
ON FAIRMO TI' AVENUE
AT Wl1JCTT STREET AMID
PLEASANT AVENUE AT
OAK STREET APPROVED
RES. NO. 87-26 Council was apprised that as a part of a new, ongoing
program, the City Traffic Engineering staff is analyzing
CC -48(h) high accident rate intersections in order to improve
CC -48(i) safety. The first step in the process consists of
preliminary screening to generate a list of intersections
sorted by control type and accident rate. Intersections
with the highest accident rate (number of accidents per
year per million vehicles entering the intersection) are
analyzed first.
in the case of Fairmont/Walnut, both the number of
accidents (11 in 3 years) and the sight obstructions at the
corners justify the change frau "Yield" to "Stop". The
volumes on Walnut are more than double those on Fairmont,
thus the right-of-way control is on the appropriate street.
At Pleasant/Oak, the number of accidents indicate "Stop"
control is appropriate. Elimination of parking at the
southwest corner to improve visibility is an alternative,
but is not recommended because of the relatively high
parking demand.
Council adopted Resolution No. 87-26 approving the
conversion of "Yield" signs to "Stop" signs on Fairmont
Avenue at Walnut Street and Pleasant Avenue at Oak Street.
