STOP INTERSECTIONS — RUTH WALL ROAD & CONVENTION
CENTER DRIVE
City Council consider adopting an Ordinance amending Section 23-30, Stop
Intersections, of the City Code of Ordinances to establish stop intersections on Ruth
Wall Road and Convention Center Drive, authorize Staff to erect the necessary signage
and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
With the construction of the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Convention Center Complex,
Ruth Wall Road was reconstructed from Northwest Highway north to the site and
continued to Gaylord Trail as Convention Center Drive. Traffic continuing north on Ruth
Wall Road must turn left at a newly configured right angle intersection just south of the
hotel site.
The new intersection is comprised of three approach legs with the northbound and
southbound legs of Ruth Wall Road intersecting at right angles. Convention Center
Drive continues past the intersection as an extension of the northbound leg of Ruth Wall
Road into the hotel site to termination at its intersection with Gaylord Trail.
Since southbound Ruth Wall Road at the intersection with Ruth Wall Road / Convention
Center Drive and eastbound Convention Center Drive at the intersection with Gaylord
Trail are the minor legs of their respective intersections, and both "T" into through
streets, these two movements should be controlled by stop signs.
Staff recommends approval.
