2. An accident problem, as indicated by five or more reported accidents <br />of a type susceptible of correction by a multiway stop installation in a <br />12-month period. Such accidents include right- and left-turn collisions as <br />well as right-angle collision~. <br /> 3. Minimum traffic volumes: <br /> (a) The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all <br />approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of <br />an average day, and <br /> (b) The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor <br />street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 <br />hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 30 <br />seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour, but <br /> (c) When the 85-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic <br />exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 <br />percent of the above requirements. <br /> <br />2B-? Yield Sign (R1-2) <br /> <br /> The YIELD sign assigns right-of-way to traffic on certain approaches to <br />an intersection. Vehicles controlled by a YIELD sign need stop only when <br />necessary to avoid interference with other traffic that is given the right-of- <br />way. <br /> The YIELD sign shall be a downward pointing, equilateral triangle <br />having a red border band and a white interior and the word YIELD in red <br />inside the border band, The standard size shall be 36 x 36 x 36 inches. <br /> <br />2B-8 Warrants for Yield Signs <br /> <br /> The YIELD sign may be warranted: <br /> 1. At the entrance to an intersection where it is necessary to assign <br />right-of-way and where the safe approach speed on the entrance exceeds <br />I0 miles per hour, <br /> 2. On the entrance ramp to an expressway where an acceleration lane is <br />not provided. <br /> <br /> 2B-4 <br /> <br /> <br />
