� � Dcccmbcr 2000 Page 2B-9 <br /> Supporl: <br /> The following are considcrations that might influencc ihc decision regarding the appropriate <br /> street upon which to install a STOP sign where two streets with relatively equal volumes and/or <br /> characteristics intersect: <br /> A. Stopping the direction that conflicts the most with established pedestrian crossing <br /> activity or school walldng routes; <br /> B. Stopping the direction that has obscured vision,dips,or bumps that already require <br /> drivers to use lower operating speeds; <br /> C. Stopping the direction that has the longest distance of uninterrupted flow approaching <br /> the intersection; and <br /> D. Stopping the direction that has the best sight distance to conflicting traffic. <br /> The use of the STOP sign at highway-railroad grade crossings is described in Section 8B.07. <br /> Section 2B.06 STOP Sign Placement <br /> Standard: <br /> The STOP sign shall be installed on the correct side of the tr�c lane to which <br /> it appties. When the STOP sign is installed at this required location and the sign <br /> visibility is restricted, a Stop Ahead sign (see Section 2C.26) shall be installed in <br /> advance of the STOP sign. <br /> The STOP sign shall be located as close as practical to the intersection it <br /> regulates, while optimizing its visibility to the road user it is intended to regulate. <br /> STOP signs and YIELD signs shall not be mounted on the same post. <br /> Guidance: <br /> Stop lines, when used to supplement a STOP sign, should be located at the point <br /> where the road user should stop (see Section 3B.16). <br /> If only one STOP sign is installed on an approach, the STOP sign should not be <br /> placed on the far side of the intersection. <br /> Where two roads intersect at an acute angle, the STOP sign should be positioned at <br /> an angle or else shielded so that the legend is out of view of traffic to which it does not <br /> apply. <br /> Sect.2B.05 to 2B.OG <br />
