Some morning and evening dog <br />walkers and pedestrians walk on both streets. <br /> <br /> Number of approaches: This is a four legged intersection. <br /> <br /> Approach Speeds: Speed Limit is 25 mph on both streets. <br /> <br /> Sight distances available on each approach: Visibility at the intersection is <br />sufficient, with the exception of trees and one streetlight pole at the corners of the <br />intersection. <br /> <br /> Reported crash experience: University City Police Department reported two (2) <br />accidents within the last two (2) years. <br /> <br />Currently there are two yield signs on Golf Course Drive that assigns the right-of-way to <br />drivers on Alanson Drive, as Alanson Drive is the through street without any Stop or Yield <br />controls. <br /> <br />According to the MUTCD, the warrants for the installation of stop signs are as follows: <br /> <br /> Combined vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all <br />approaches averages more than 2,000 units per day. <br /> <br /> The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road <br />user to stop in compliance with the normal right-of-way rule if such stopping is <br />necessary, <br /> <br /> Crash records of 5 or more for the last 3 years or 3 or more such crashes have <br />been reported within a 2-year period. <br /> <br />This intersection has low volume combined vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian; Visibility is <br />sufficient, and; there are two (2) accidents within the last two (2) years. Therefore a stop <br />sign is not warranted. <br /> <br />The Public Works and Parks Department recommends denying the request to install stop <br />signs and instead proceed with the installation of new retro reflective Yield signs at the <br />appropriate size and height per the MUTCD federal regulations to enhance visibility for all <br />road users and as a reminder for motorists to yield to vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians <br />traveling on Alanson Drive. Speed Limit signs can also be installed entering both Golf <br />Course Drive and Alanson Drive, just south of Groby Rd. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wofsey made a motion to deny the request to install stop signs and instead <br />proceed with the installation of new Yield signs on Alanson Drive.
