Honorable Mayor and City Council May 7, 1997 Page Two During the first 24-hour count, this volume warrant was met for seven hours. During the second 24-hour count, this volume was met for six hours. Since this intersection does not have a volume of 500 vehicles for at least eight hours each day, this warrant is not met. b) The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour, but Pedestrian counts were not taken. However, during the time the traffic counters were set up and taken down, very little pedestrian volume was observed. Therefore, the volumes involve only those of vehicles. During the first 24-hour count, this volume warrant was met for one hour. During the second 24-hour count, this volume warrant was met for zero hours. Since the minor street does not have a volume of 200 vehicles per hour for eight hours each day, this warrant is not met. Because the first part of this warrant was not met, a delay study was not conducted to determine if the second part of this warrant is met. b) When the 85-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. The speed limit of Gates Avenue is 30 mph. Therefore, the warrant reduction does not apply. Based on the fact that none of the warrants for 4-way stop control are met at this intersection, it is our recommendation that stop signs not be added at northbound and southbound Gates Avenue at this time. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like further study completed. Sincerely, Terry J. Maurer, P.E. City Engineer Tiffany J. KOwalczyk Staff Engineer TJM/TJK:kh Attachment 367-0707.may
