From: Sam Hasenin, Principal Engineer
Subject: All-Way Stop on N. Citrus Avenue & E. Indian Rock Road Re
sidents submitted a petition to install an all-way stop at the intersection of N. Citrus Avenue & E. Indian Rock Road as a traffic calming measure in accordance with the City’s Traffic Calming Program. Staff conducted an evaluation of the intersection using criteria such as traffic volumes, pedestrians, accident history, and other conditions. Staff determined that the intersection of N. Citrus Avenue & E. Indian Rock Road does not meet the quantitative criteria for an all-way stop.
I
evaluated the street segment and I found that based on roadway characteristics, vehicle speeds and accident history, in my engineering judgment and as provided in the City’s Traffic Calming Program, an all-way stop at the intersection of N. Citrus Avenue & E. Indian Rock Road is the most feasible and effective measure to reduce vehicle speeds on N. Citrus Avenue and E. Indian Rock Road.
