Pursuant to Section 21354 of the Vehicle Code, the Director
of Public Works may designate any local street intersection as a stop
intersection and direct the placement of stop signs at one or more
entrances thereto provided such designation is made in accordance
with the provisions of this article.
(§ 1, Ord. 649, eff. September 24, 1987)
The purpose of a stop sign is to control traffic within an intersection.
It is not the purpose of a stop sign to control speed on local streets.
(§ 1, Ord. 649, eff. September 24, 1987)
The designation of a stop intersection shall only be made subsequent
to the receipt of a report on the need and necessity of such a determination.
(§ 1, Ord. 649, eff. September 24, 1987)
A report prepared pursuant to this article shall summarize traffic
survey findings made of the intersection proposed for such a designation
and, based upon accepted traffic engineering standards and criteria,
shall make a recommendation as to whether or not such a determination
is warranted.
(§ 1, Ord. 649, eff. September 24, 1987)
