' � Page 2B-8 December 2000 <br /> Section 2B.05 STOP Si�n Applications <br /> Guidance: <br /> 5TOP signs should not be used unless engineering judgment indicates that one or <br /> more of the following conditions exist: <br /> A. Intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the <br /> normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonably safe <br /> operaxion; <br /> B. Street entering a through highway or street; <br /> C. Unsignalized intersection in a signalized area; and/or <br /> D. High speeds, restricted view, or crash records indicate that a need for control by <br /> the STOP sign. <br /> Standard: <br /> Because the potential for conflicting commands could create driver confusion, <br /> STOP signs shall not be installed at intersections where traffic control signals are <br /> installed and operating. <br /> Portabte or part-time STOP signs shall not be used except for emergency and <br /> temporary traffic control zone purposes. <br /> Guidance: <br /> STOP signs should not be used for speed control. <br /> STOP signs should be installed in a manner that minimizes the numbers of vehicles <br /> having to stop. At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, <br /> consideration should be given to using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs <br /> (see Section 2B.08). <br /> Once the decision has been made to install two-way stop control, the decision <br /> regarding the appropriate street to stop should be based on engineering judgment. In <br /> most cases,the street carrying the lowest volume of traff'ic should be stopped. <br /> A STOP sign should not be installed on the major street unless justified by a traffic <br /> engineering study. <br /> s�c.2s.os <br />
