INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS ON MAIN STREET AT "B" STREET
RECOMMENDATION:
Pleasure of the City Council. If the attached resolution is passed and adopted,
it is requested that fifty (50) feet of red zoning be authorized at the
southwesterly and northwesterly corners of the intersection for visibility and
that two additional signs be installed on a raised island in the center of Main
St. for both directions of travel.
BACKGROUND:
On October 20, 1982, the City Council approved the installation of stop signs on
Main Street at the intersection of "B" Street. At that time, the staff
recommended against the installation'of stop signs because the intersection did
not meet the Standard Warrants for a 4-way stop control for either warrant #1, #2,
or 3b. Warrant 3 must be met in both areas 3a and 3b.
DISCUSSION:
The subject intersection has been reviewed with respect to visibility and stop
sign location. It has been determined that the eastbound motorists will have
difficulty in seeing the proposed stop sign at the southwesterly corner of Main
and "B" Streets due to the existence of a large tree in front of 320 West First
St. Consequently, it is suggested that additional stop signs be installed in the
center of Main Street for both directions of travel. These additional signs would
be mounted on an asphaltic concrete island similar to the ones located at Walnut
and Oxford Avenues adjacent to Tustin Meadows.
In addition to the extra signs, two curb areas adjacent to the signs located
behind curb should be red zoned for a distance of fifty (50) feet easterly and
westerly of the curb returns. These red zones will eliminate two on-street
parking spaces in front of 320 West Main St. on the southwesterly corner and two
on-street parking spaces in front of 225 West Main St. at the northeasterly
corner.
The stop signs will most likely induce two lanes of traffic for each direction at
the intersection and may require some future modifications to the striping along
Main Street both easterly and westerly of "B" Street.
