  The Department of Public Works must perform engineering studies 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 intersection of Decatur St and E. 16th St does not currently meet the traffic volume requirements for an all-way stop. Some existing traffic measures in the immediate area on Decatur St include a speed table between 16th St and 17th St and an all-way stop at Decatur St and 14th St.

  More information on the all-way stop study: 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. All-way stops are not currently planned since Decatur St and 16th St does not meet the MUTCD traffic volume requirements.
