SUBJECT: STOP SIGN CONTROLLED
p ; 71071 "
Legal authority to establish stop controlled intersections is found
in Section 10.16.030 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. When the
Director of Public Services or his designee delivers to the City
Council a traffic report justifying a new stop sign location,_the
Council may make a finding that the placement of Stop signs at
intersections'so designated is necessary to facilitate the flow of .
traffic and /or prevent traffic conflicts
Guidelines to determine the need to install stop sign control have
been published by CalTrans in the "TRAFFIC MANUAL ". These
guidelines are in agreement with the federal uniform standards.
TRAFFIC REPORT AND ANALYSIS
Chestnut Street at Peck Street, Graham Avenue, and Prospect Street.
These street intersections are located in the central downtown area
generally east -.of City Hall. All. three. intersections have four
intersection approaches with no existing Stop controls. All the
streets are residential and are functionally similar. There were
no reported traffic accidents for the year 1992 at. any of the
intersections. All three have limited sight distance. The 'safe
approach speed is less than 10 miles per hour which requires
approaching traffic to' almost stop!' before entering any of the
intersections.
FINDINGS
Installation of Stop signs at the intersections described above is
necessary to facilitate the flow of traffic and prevent traffic
accidents. The Stop signs should be; placed as follows:
Street Name Cross Street Signs Facing Both
Peck Street Chestnut Street Approaches on Peck Street
Chestnut Street Graham Avenue Approaches on Chestnut St.
Chestnut Street Prospect Street Approaches on Chestnut St.
