� , . , •, December 2000 Page ZB-9 Support: The following are considerations that might influence the decision regarding the appropriate street upon which to install a STOP sign where two streets with relatively equal volumes and/or characteristics intersect: A. Stopping the direction that conflicts the most with established pedestrian crossing activity or school walking routes; B. Stopping the direction that has obscured vision,dips,or bumps that already require drivers to use lower operating speeds; . C. Stopping the direction that has the longest distance of uninterrupted flow approaching ' the intersection; and � D. Stopping the direction that has the best sight distance to conflicting traffic. I T'he use of the STOP sign at highway-railroad grade crossings is described in Section 8B.07. Section 2B.06 STOP 5ign Placement Standard: The STOP sign shall be installed on the correct side of the tr�c lane to which it applies. When the STOP sign is installed at this required location and the sign visibility is restricted, a Stop Ahead sign(see Section 2C.2b) shall be installed in advance of the STOP sign. The STOP sign shall be located as close as practical to the intersection it regulates,while optimizing its visibility to the road user it is intended to regulate. STOP si ns and YIELD si s shall not be mounted on the same post. g �► Guidance: Stop lines, when used to supplement a STOP sign, should be located at the point where the road user should stop (see Section 3B.16). If only one STOP sign is installed on an approach,the STOP sign should not be placed on the far side of the intersection. Where two roads intersect at an acute angle,the STOP sign should be positioned at an angle or else shielded so that the legend is out of view of traffic to which it does not apply. Sect.2B.05 to 2B.06
