Unsignalized intersection in a signalized area. <br />4. Other intersections when a combination of high speed, restricted view, and serious <br /> accident record indicates a need for the stop sign. <br /> <br />The use of a stop sign to control or reduce speed is not appropriate. <br /> <br />Multiwa¥ Stop Signs <br /> <br />A multiway stop sign is one which requires a stop sign be posted on all legs of an <br />intersection. It should only be used where determined to be warranted by the MUTCD. <br />Acceptable warrants for a multiway stop include: <br /> <br />Intersections where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed. The <br />multiway stop is a permissible interim measure while arrangements are being made <br />for signal installation. <br />An accident problem, as indicated by five or more accidents of a type susceptible <br />to correction by a multiway stop in a twelve month period. <br />Minimum traffic volumes as follows: <br />a) The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must <br /> average 500 vehicles per hour for any eight hours of an average day. <br />b) The combination of vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street must <br /> average 200 units per hour for the same eight hours, with an average delay t o <br /> the minor street of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hours, <br /> but; <br />c) When the 85th percentile approach speed of the major street exceeds 40 mph, <br /> the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of the above requirement. <br /> <br />Request for Yield $ign~ <br /> <br />A "YIELD" sign assigns right-of-way to traffic on certain approaches to an <br />intersection. Vehicles controlled by a yield sign need stop only when necessary to <br />avoid interference with other traffic that is given the right-of-way. Yield signs shall be <br />placed in accordance with warrants outlined in the MN HUTCD which includes the <br />following: <br /> <br />1. At the entrance to an intersection where it is necessary to assign the right-of-way <br /> and where safe approach speed on the entrance exceeds 10 mph. <br />2. Where there is a separate or channelized right-turn lane without an adequate <br /> acceleration lane. <br />3. At intersections' where a special problem to be susceptible to correction by use of <br /> a yield sign. <br /> <br />Requests for Speed Limit Siqns and Lower Speed Limits <br /> <br /> <br />
