Description
The traffic speed and running stop signs has gotten crazy! Flagstop traffic is the main issue. Used to be a quiet street for neighbors and now its a thru street to Broad & Monument. Suggest traffic calming bump in middle of 1500 block. Suggest adding signs “slow” or “children at play” and suggest having an exit sign with arrow pointing toward Broad across from Flagstop exit. Thanks for your consideration.

- Staff · April 7, 2025Sauer Ave between Monument Ave and Broad St stops at Monument, Grace, Cutshaw, Augusta and Broad. The 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. Traffic calming measures such as speed tables are not currently planned on Sauer Ave given all the stopped conditions along the corridor. The Manual for Uniformed Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) contains the national standards governing all traffic control devices. All public agencies with roads open to public travel across the nation rely on the MUTCD to bring uniformity to the roadway. The use of “Children at play” type signs is discouraged by state and federal transportation departments. These signs also may give families a false sense of security. These signs do not describe where the child might be.
