Description
New cafe coming to 401 Stafford in early 2024 will change traffic and pedestrian patterns on what is already a dangerous intersection - we desparately need stop signs westbound and eastbound on Grayland where it intersects Stafford. (Please do not delete this request as it has new relevant information indicating that DPW vehicle volume data will be inaccurate.)

- Staff · December 29, 2023DPW must perform an engineering study in accordance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) before installing an all-way stop. All all-way stops must meet the warrants in the MUTCD. The MUTCD conditions are mainly about a combination of traffic on the free flow street and the stopped 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 the requirements 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. All-way stops are not planned at this time since Grayland and Stafford does not meet the MUTCD traffic volume requirements.
