The <br />Engineering Division has received a request from a <br />resident to replace the existing yield signs on Brentwood <br />Drive with stop signs. This memo summarizes the warrant <br />analysis conducted to assess the need for a permanent <br />two-way stop at this intersection and the proposed <br />recommendation. <br />LoicationlDescri tion <br />In this location, both Sheridan Street and Brentwood Drive are classified as local streets <br />and each have one travel lane per direction. This area is a primarily residential area. <br />Warrants <br />The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices sets forth the following requirements to <br />warrant the installation of two-way stop control: <br />The following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a two-way STOP sign <br />installation: <br />A. The intersection of a less important road with a main road where the applications of the normal <br />right-of-way rule is hazardous; <br />B. A street entering through a highway or street; <br />C. An unsignalized intersection in a signalized area; <br />D. Other intersections where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and serious accident <br />record indicates a need for control by the stop sign. <br />Existing Traffic Control <br />This intersection is currently two-way yield controlled, Brentwood Drive yields and <br />Sheridan Street is the through street. The intersection of Sheridan Street and Ardmore <br />Trail, 800 feet to the south, is a signalized intersection. A four-way stop condition exists <br />at the intersection of Sheridan Street and St. Johns Way, which is 1200 feet to the <br />north. <br />We deliver services that empower everyone to thrive!! <br />
