Where extensive use is made of two-way stops for inter- <br />section control, the pattern of two-way stops in a local street <br />system should be carefully established to avoid setting up mini <br />through streets. <br /> <br />4. Traffic signals are generally inappropriate on a local street, <br />even at its intersection with a major street, and may attract <br />increased traffic volumes to the local street. <br /> <br />5. Speed limit signs have generally been found to have little effect <br />on traffic speed on local streets, unless constantly enforced. If <br />speed limits are lower than necessary, many drivers will simply <br />ignore them. Speed limits should always be determined by traffic <br />engineering analyses of roadway conditions, accident records, and <br />the prevailing speeds. <br /> <br />E. Table 1 is a summary of obse~ved traffic effects and characteristics <br />of local street traffic management techniques. <br /> <br />e <br />
