- Staff · July 26, 2024All-way stop request - Stuart Ave & Ripley Ave 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. 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. This means at a minimum one street must have at least 2400 vehicles per day and the other street must have at least 1600 vehicles a day. In the case of Ripley, the 24hour traffic sample was about 450 vehicles a day. The intersection of Stuart Ave & Ripley Ave does not meet the traffic MUTCD traffic requirements for an all-way stop.
