Description
The intersection where Patterson ends and is perpendicular to Belmont needs an all-way stop sign at each point of the T-shaped intersection. There is a stop sign at the end of Patterson, but there should be two more on opposite sides of Belmont at the point where the two streets meet. This intersection is difficult to navigate as a pedestrian and as a driver, as parked cars along Belmont make it difficult to see if it is safe to turn. Red star on map = existing stop sign, blue = proposed signs
Details

- Staff · December 18, 2023The Department of Public Works (DPW) must perform an engineering study in accordance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) before installing an all-way stop. Data must be collected first of which is outsourced so the study is in progress.
- Staff · December 17, 2024The Department of Public Works (DPW) 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 weekday 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 traffic conditions must be met for the major and minor streets to meet the MUTCD requirement. The intersections of Belmont Ave and Patterson Ave (North connection) and Patterson Ave (South connection) do not meet the MUTCD traffic volume requirements for an all-way stop.
