Report Neighborhood Roadway Safety Concern

Description

Visibility at this intersection is awful, even if vehicles are not parked all the way to the corners. There needs to be a four-way stop at this intersection, especially since O St is used for elementary school drop off and no other stopped intersections exist between 25th and 31st Sts.

  - The 85th percentile speed for O St This is the speed that 85 percent of drivers travel at or below, is one of the best indicators of a reasonable and safe speed. The 85th percentile speed sample on O St for a 48-hour period was 28 mph. This sample is in general compliance with the 25-mph speed for residential streets. Therefore, we do not have plans to install speed tables on O St between 25th St and 31st St. - All-way stop requests – O St and minor streets (26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th) DPW 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 the major street must have at least 2400 vehicles per day and the minor street must have at least 1600 vehicles a day. - Neither O St (major street) nor the minor streets along O St (26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th) meet the MUTCD traffic requirements for an all-way stop. - Parked vehicles restricting intersection sight distance. o Staff will field review and install No Parking signs as needed.
