Implement systemic signing and marking improvements at stop-controlled intersections
Description: Double‐up (i.e., both right and left side) 36 in. x 36 in. intersection warning signs (W2- 22 series in the MUTCD (4)) on fluorescent yellow sheeting. Add advance street name plaque (W16‐8 in the MUTCD(4)) on fluorescent yellow 24 sheeting accompanying each right‐side intersection warning sign. Double-up (i.e., both right and left side) 48 in. x 48 in. STOP or YIELD signs (R1‐1 and 26 R1‐2 in the MUTCD(4)). Install retroreflective strips on sign posts for the above signs. Place minor road stop bars within 4 to 10 ft of the edge of the nearest through lane along the major road. Install yield bars at all lanes having yield conditions. Add dashed white edge-lines along the major road through the intersection. Remark all existing stop bars, crosswalks, arrows and word messages unless: o The roadway has been resurfaced within one calendar year and new thermoplastic markings have been applied. o Existing markings are uniformly reflective and above ground thickness is 90 mils or greater. o Otherwise directed by a district representative. Mark all turn lanes to include the pattern of lane arrows and text marking “ONLY” based on the turn lane length.
Prior Condition: Stop-controlled intersections without systemic signing and marking improvements
