HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06032014 - C.05RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2014/4412 declaring an all-way stop controlled intersection at Hawthorne Drive
(Road No. 1794C) and Vaqueros Avenue (Road No. 1795AA), as recommended by the Public Works Director,
Rodeo area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The intersection of Hawthorne Drive and Vaqueros Avenue currently is stop controlled only on Vaqueros Avenue.
The County’s Public Works Department Traffic Engineering Staff recently initiated an investigation to determine if
an all-way stop control of the intersection is warranted. The analysis included study of the existing intersection
geometry, any sight line limitations, volume data, and collision history.
Based on this investigation, it has been determined that an all-way stop controlled intersection at Vaqueros Avenue
and Hawthorne Drive is warranted. Therefore, the Public Works Department recommends the intersection be
declared an all-way stop controlled intersection to enhance the orderly flow of traffic, improve pedestrian safety, and
allow enforcement of the traffic regulation.
