Comments
- Staff · May 31, 2024Cityworks ID: 530587
- Staff · June 4, 2024The focused approach on speed management in the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program first considers the distance of a free flow street of at least 1200’ in length in a tangent section without traffic signals, existing traffic calming measures or stopped conditions on the major street. Speed tables are not planned on Belmont Ave given the distance between the traffic signal at Kensington Ave and the stop sign at Park Ave measures about 650’. DPW will plan to review Belmont as it intersects with Patterson on each leg and determine if all-way stops meet the conditions set forth in the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for all-way stops.
