Abstract

Experiences are related, and the recommendation is made that the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the various state conterparts should be revised to indicate that the usual stop sign warrants do not apply to local residential streets in dense urban areas, or at least to give more credence to limited sight distances on low-speed local roadways. It is also noted that the accident warrants are much too high for low-volume roads, where stop sign installations can make a positive traffic safety difference, even though the results can only be detected when a significant number of individual intersections are aggregated into logical groupings.
