CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Traffic Resolution Amendment - Intersection Control, Robert Street at Loma Drive
MEETING DATE: August 16, 1995
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution amending the Traffic Resolution
#87-163 by approving the installation of stop signs on Robert Street at
Loma Drive (Exhibit A).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The intersection of Robert Street and Loma Drive has been studied
based on a condition report from a Police Officer. The request
was for staff to review the intersection and determine if yield or
stop signs were needed on Robert Street to assign the right-of-way
at this four -legged intersection.
Most of the City's four -legged intersections are controlled by a yield or stop sign on the minor streets
unless one leg of the intersection is a cul-de-sac, bulb or stub street at which cross traffic would be
infrequent.
Although this is the condition at Loma Drive at Robert Street, staff determined some type of control on
Robert Street was necessary. Staff recommends the installation of stop signs on Robert Street at
Loma Drive.
Available accident reports indicate that there have been no right-angle accidents at this intersection
during the three plus years from 1992 to the present. No other requests to install traffic controls have
been received at this intersection. Traffic volumes on Loma Drive are approximately 1,000 vehicles per
day and estimated traffic volumes on Robert Street are 400 vehicles per day. Loma Drive has a posted
speed limit of 30 mph and Robert Drive has a prima facie speed of 25 mph. The stop sign control
recommendation is based on the limited sight distance and approach speeds.
FUNDING: Funding for the installation of stop signs and legends from the
Street Maintenance Account at an approximatep9st of $500.
