STOP SIGN INSTALLATIONS AT: (a) SECOND ST. @ "A" STREET
(b) SECOND ST. @ PACIFIC STREET
RECOMMENDATION
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of April 3, 1989, adopt
the attached resolution calling for the installation of the above stop
signs.
DISCUSSION
The Engineering Department has an on-going program that identifies
intersections which could present safety problems. Usually, these
locations are situated in residential areas. Although these and other
locations do not necessarily have a history of accidents, the potential
of such an occurrence is nevertheless recognized through this program.
At the Second Street intersection with "A" Street, a "four-way" stop
controlled intersection was requested by the Police Department. From
the City Traffic Engineer's review however, it was determined that given
the uncontrolled nature of this location (no traffic control from any of
the intersection's four approach legs), a sufficiently safe situation
would result if only the Second Street approaches were stopped. "A"
Street traffic would not be required to stop.
The justification for the recommended controls fall under the guidelines
of necessary traffic control in residential areas. Further, since "A"
Street, is a through roadway that links First and Main Streets, the
vehicle code supports the fact that roadways intersecting a through
street can be controlled by a stop sign.
. ~
The need to have a stop sign on Second Street at Pacific was identified
by the City's Traffic Engineer. The justification for its installation
is identical to that for the above intersection of Second/"A" Street
intersections. It is noted that this location will also have a red zone
installed to improve sight distance.
