ALL -WAY STOP INTERSECTIONS
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider an ordinance amending Chapter 23 Traffic,
Section 23-30 of the City Code of Ordinances to add all -way stop
intersections at Gaylord Trail at Ruth Wall Street, Austin Street at East
Wall Street, and Ira E. Woods Avenue at South Church Street.
FUNDING SOURCE:
BACKGROUND:
This action will have no impact on City funds.
The City's ordinances require Council adoption of all stop signs installed
in the City. Staff is proposing three locations.
Gaylord Trail/Ruth Wall Street
Gaylord Hotels has requested the all -way stop at Gaylord Trail and Ruth
Wall Street due to recent accidents on Gaylord Trail and high speed of
vehicles.
Austin Street/E. Wall Street
Area property owners requested the all -way stop at Austin Street at East
Wall Street due to new development in the area and increased traffic
volumes.
Hudgins Street/S. Church Street
The recent opening of the Hudgins Street extension necessitated the
installation of an all -way stop at this intersection given the multiple turning
movements.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) provides
guidance on all -way stop intersections. All three of the locations above
meet the appropriate warrants for an all -way stop condition.
Staff recommends approval.
