<br />Page 3 - Agenda <br /> May 10, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br />A stop sign is appropriate when a less frequently traveled road intersects with a highly <br />traveled road and traffic crossing this road creates a hazard and/or where a combination of <br />high speed traffic, a restricted view, and frequent accidents indicate the need for one or <br />more stop signs. <br /> <br />The Police Department advised that there have been no reported accidents within the last <br />3 years at this intersection. There are no warrants for a stop sign to be installed at this <br />intersection. The engineering division recommends that the request be denied and a <br />“yield” sign on Stanford at Amherst be installed. <br /> <br />5.St. Louis County Highway Department Response to City requests. <br /> <br /> <br />For your information, please find attached a letter from Garry Earls, Acting Director of St. <br />Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic to the Honorable Kurt S.
