Roanoke, Virginia November 8, 1993 Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor and Members of Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: SUBJECT: Hunt Avenue/10th Street, N.W. Intersection - Traffic Signalization Study I. Backqround: Ae Request from Councilman Delvis O. McCadden was made at City Council's meeting on October 11, 1993 for a traffic signalization study at the intersection of Hunt Avenue and 10th Street, N.W. Citizens had complained of difficulty seeing southbound 10th Street traffic when entering the intersection from Hunt Avenue. Traffic siqnal requests received by the City from the public are evaluated by using the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD establishes many conditions and guidelines (called warrants) frequently used by traffic engineers. These warrants, when used to determine whether a traffic signal is needed at a particular location, do not establish thresholds above which a traffic signal must be or should be installed. Rather, they establish minimum thresholds below which a traffic signal shall not be installed. (These warrants consider vehicle volumes, delay, pedestrian volumes, school crossings, and accident experience). Determination for the actual need of a warranted traffic signal is aided by a ranking system which considers the degree to which the warrants are met as well as the various physical characteristics of the intersection. Citywide, there are twelve (12) other intersections under consideration for signalization at this time, each having met at least one warrant. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council Page 2 II. III. IV. Current Situation: Traffic study was performed on Thursday, October 21, 1993 and consisted of a turning-movement count of all vehicles from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (see Attachment A). Our review of the results indicates that none of the MUTCD's warrants have been met. Accident records from Police Department reports were reviewed and indicate that there have been four (4) two-vehicle accidents reported at this intersection during the 3-1/2 year period from January 1, 1990 to June 30, 1993, resulting in one personal injury. , The MUTCD signalization warrants do include an evaluation of accident history. One of the conditions to meet this warrant requires there to be five (5) or more reported accidents, of the types susceptible to correction by traffic signal control, that have occurred within a 12-month period. This warrant was not met at any time during this 3-1/2 year period. Issues: A. Warrants B. Cost C. Safety D. Traffic signalization needs Alternatives: City administration not consider installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Hunt Avenue and 10th Street, N.W. at this time. 1. Warrants from this study were not met, thereby supporting the determination not to install a traffic signal. 2. Cost is zero. 3. Safety of motorists does not change. The existing sight distance from Hunt Avenue to the north along Honorable Mayor and Members of Council Page 3 10th Street is approximately 300 feet which is an acceptable distance. 4. Traffic signalization needs remain intersections throughout the City. at other City administration consider installation of a traffic signa! at the intersection of Hunt Avenue and 10th Street, N.W. Warrants have not been met. The City invites liability problems if unjustified traffic control devices are installed to satisfy an unwarranted request. Also, improper use of traffic signals can result in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) identifying such as deficiencies. Maintenance payments can be withheld until corrections are made (which in this case could involve removal of the traffic signal). A minimum of 0.! lane mile, and increments of 0.1 mile, can be deleted for payment for each street segment containing deficiencies. Cost for a new traffic signal installation is at least ~75~000, funds for which are presently not identified for any new traffic signals. Safety would not necessarily improve if signalization is installed. When installed under conditions that justify its use, a traffic signal is a valuable device for improving the safety and efficiency of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. In particular, signals may reduce certain types of accidents, most notably the angle (broadside) collision. Traffic signals can reduce the number of angle collisions at an intersection but can also cause a significant increase in rear-end collisions. Normally, traffic engineers are willing to trade off an increase in rear-end collisions for a decrease in the more severe angle accidents; however, when there is no angle accident problem at an intersection and a signal is not needed for traffic control, there is nothing to trade off and the installation of traffic signals can actually cause a deterioration in the overall safety at the intersection. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council Page 4 Traffic signalization needs at twelve (12) other locations throughout the City would all rank higher based upon our ranking criteria. V. Recommendation: No action is required by City Council. City administration will not consider installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Hunt Avenue and 10th Street, N.W. at this time. While this administration gives every possible consideration to citizen/neighborhood requests for traffic control devices, we are regulated by VDOT to utilize the guidelines in the Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices· We invite liability problems for the City if unjustified installations occur.

Bowers, and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Mayor Dear Mayor Bowers and Council MemberS: Subject: STOP Signs in Residential Areas At your meeting on Monday, November 8, 1993, Council listened to a request from Mr. Nell McNally on behalf of certain residents in South Roanoke for 4-way STOP signs at 26th Street and Stanley Avenue. The City administration has been discussing this request with the residents of this neighborhood for the past couple of years. You may be interested in our findings, copies of some of the pertinent correspondence are included for your information (the traffic engineering study report is available for anyone interested in reviewing same). City Council was given a briefing on September 28, 1992, concerning the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the use of criteria included in this manual when evaluating requests for STOP signs, traffic signals, and other traffic control devices. I hope that our explanation of the importance of these professionally developed technical criteria would be balanced with the emotional appeal of citizens. Let me advise you that the City administration has heard the wishes of City Council in regard to citizen requests for neighborhood STOP signs. We will continue to evaluate similar requests in the future using the criteria of the MUTCD. However, where the requests of neighborhood residents are uniformly in favor of STOP signs, even though the analysis of the criteria would not recommend installation, the sign(s) will be installed. We must of course reserve the right to withhold installation if it is thought that a hazardous condition would be created. Even then, you may expect a direct appeal by citizens to Council. Over time, it is anticipated that two (2) things could happen. Council may hear from other citizens objecting to the proliferation of STOP signs throughout the City. Such can cause unnecessary interruption in the normal flow of vehicular traffic, increase gasoline consumption and air pollution, and create a disrespect for other justified traffic control devices. While Room 364 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, SW Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703) 981~2333 Mayor Bowers and Council Members Page 2 City employees will not overtly notify the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) of this issue, it likely will become apparent to local VDOT officials as they travel throughout the City. Eventually, we can expect to be notified by VDOT that we are not properly applying MUTCD criteria to our STOP sign installations, and be threatened with the loss of state maintenance payments. The 4-way STOP signs have been installed at 26th Street and Stanley Avenue. Respectfully, W. Robert Herbert City Manager WRH:WFC:pr Enclosures cc: Mr. Wilburn C. Dibling, Jr., City Attorney Mr. James D. Grisso, Director of Finance Mr. Robert K. Bengtson, Traffic Engineer Director of Pubtic Works June 20, 1991 G. M. Patterson, M.D. Urology Associates, Ltd. Suite 105 102 Highland Avenue, S. E. Roanoke, Virginia 24013 Dear Dr. Patterson: This is in response to your letter dated May 17, 1991, to City Manager W. Robert Herbert concerning traffic conditions in the vicinity of 26th Street and Stanley Avenue, S. W. Mr. Herbert has requested that I correspond directly with you. I realize that you have indicated that you are not interested in receiving additional "traffic science data" concerning this subject. Nevertheless, the City Engineering Department was directed to conduct a comprehensive study of your concerns in order to develop an appropriate response. There are standard traffic engineering methodologies used to analyze the need for the installation of traffic control devices. Referencing the enclosed information, our studies indicate average speed of vehicles on 26th Street as 15 mph and 19 mph on two separate occasions. This is Certainly not excessive and indicates the caution which must be exercised when driving on this relatively narrow residential street. An attempt Was made to analyze the extent to which eastbound vehicles on 26th Street turned left at Cornwallis Avenue, as a measure of the possible thru traffic destined for Yellow Mountain Road. Of the vehicles we were able to track, 44 percent turned left while 56 percent turned right, apparently with destinations in the neighborhood. Our traffic studies do not concur in your request to reverse the direction of STOP signs at the 26th Street and Stanley Avenue intersection. In addition to the fact that 26th Street is obviously the major traffic movement, we are concerned with the safety factor of encouraging northbound traffic on Stanley Avenue to accelerate through this intersection on a 10 percent downgrade. Your questioning of the signage at 27th Street and Jefferson Street will result in our changing the YIELD signs to STOP signs, due to sight distance limitations to the south.

Virginia 24011 (703) 981-2741 Dr. Patterson June 20, 1991 Page 2 While we do not agree with all of your recommendations, I hope you will agree that a thorough analysis has been made. We receive many requests for installation of traffic control devices, everything from speed limit signs to traffic signals. We feel that it is important to give each request full consideration and apply consistent criteria to our reco~m~endations. If you would like to discuss any aspect of our studies, I invite you to contact me at 981-2741, or the City Traffic Engineer, Bob Bengtson, at 981-2731. .Sincerely, Willta~ F.

Roanoke, VA 24013 Dear Dr. Patterson: Your recent request for STOP sign changes or additions at the intersection of Stanley Avenue and 26th Street, S.E. was directed to this office by Mr. William F. Clark, Director of Public Works. We have reviewed the information previously sent to you in June, 1991 and have made a follow-up study as well. Based upon updated information and observations, including the fact that there have been no reported traffic accidents at this intersection since our last study in June, 1991, our previous conclusion remains the same. That is, that the STOP signs not be reversed given that 26th Street is the major traffic movement. Nor do we endorse a four-way STOP since the traffic conditions do not satisfy the requirements for their installation. Generally those conditions include: 1. Three or more correctable accidents in one year. Traffic volumes on each approach are approximately equal and considerably heavier than the volumes at this intersection. 3. Unacceptable line of sight of approaching traffic. It should also be noted that nationwide, the consensus of traffic and safety engineers is that many of the STOP signs installed to control speeding and improve safety on residential streets works to the disadvantage of the public. It is agreed that unnecessary STOP signs (a) cause accidents they are designed to prevent (b) breed contempt for other necessary STOP signs (c) waste millions of gallons of gasoline annually (d) create added noise and air pollution and (e) increase, rather than decrease speeds between intersections. We regret that we are not in a position to honor your request. Please feel free to contact me at 981-2686 if you have any questions concerning this information. Sincerely, Robert K. BengtsO~f, P.E.

A. ECHOLS 24153 Mr. Robert K. Bengtson City of Roanoke Traffic Engineer 1802 Courtland Avenue NE Roanoke, Virginia 24014 Dear Mr. Bengtson: This is in reference to your request for assistance concerning the intersection of Stanley Avenue and 26th Street, Southeast. This intersection does not warrant a four-way stop, in accordance with the MUTCD. The MUTCD is a manual that is the basis for various traffic control items and their implementation. As stated in the MUTCD, "Also, STOP signs should not be used for speed control." The word "should" is not a mandatory condition, but certainly, sound engineering judgement needs to be used when not conforming with this statement. There were no posted speed limit signs on 26th Street, in this vicinity, and installation of such signing would be beneficial to advise of the posted speed limit. There is good sight distance at this intersection and you indicated there is no history of accidents. Therefore, there is no justification for a four-way stop at the intersection, particularly if the primary reason is speed control. Very truly yours, 3.~.

Roanoke, VA 24Dll RE: REQUEST FOR PLACEMENT OF STOP SIGNS ON 26th STREET S.E. AT THE INTERSECTION WITH STANLEY AVENUE Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council: The undersigned live at or in close proximity to the intersection of 26th Street and Stanley Avenue, S.E. Currently, there are stop signs on Stanley Avenue at that intersection, making it a 2-way stop. We are requesting that stop signs be placed on 26th Street so as to make the intersection a 4-way stop. This request is being made for the protection of at least ten (10) children all under the age of nine {9) that live in the immediate vicinity of the intersection. As children will naturally do, they move from yard to yard as they play. This mo"ement creates constant crossings of 26th Street, particularly between Jefferson Street and Stanley Avenue. Motorists who tm~vel on 26th Street, for whatever reason, have the tendency to do so at excebsive speeds, which of ~ourse creates a threat to the safety of the children. It is our position that by making the intersection a 4-way stop motorists will be required to travel at a reduced rate of speed or at a minimum at the posted speed limit. The placement of stop signs on 26th Street would deter motorists from accelerating from the direction of Jefferson Street and slow down motorists coming from Cornwallis. The Roanoke City Traffic Division this matter but has refused to install the signs will not hinder traffic flow but will children. has previously been contacted on requested stop signs. The stop help preserve the safety of the The Honorable David A. Bowers, Esq.
