Report Neighborhood Roadway Safety Concern

Description

All way stop request. Honaker is often used a cut through from three chopt to patterson. The lack of stop signs means that people pick up a good amount of speed and go well over 25. Those who aren't going too fast mistake it for an all-way stop (which there are quite a few of in the neighborhood) which causes confusion. An all-way stop would get everyone on the same page, reduce speeds, and make the intersection safer for crossing! Let me know if there is anything I can do to make this happen!!!

  The Department of Public Works (DPW) must perform an engineering study in accordance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices before installing an all-way stop. All all-way stops must meet the warrants in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This is a federal publication that applies to all streets open to pubic travel. The MUTCD conditions are mainly about a combination of traffic on the free flow street and thestopped street. This is basically how the MUTCD warrant works: - The traffic volumes along the free flow street (major street) and the stopped street (minor street) must be at a certain level for each hour for eight hours of a week day to meet therequirements of the MUTCD all-way stop warrants. o Major street minimum requirement (total of both approaches) = 300 or more vehicles an hour. o Minor street minimum requirement (total of both approaches) = 200 or more vehicles an hour. - Both of these traffic conditions must be met. This intersection of Kensington Ave and Honaker Ave does not have the volume conditions for an all-way stop.
