Commercial Street, Ste 30 Bellingham, WA Phone: (360) Fax: (360) Memorandum To: Through: From: The Honorable Jack Louws, County Executive, and Honorable Members of the Whatcom County Council.JAN Jon Hutchings, Director /t;- Joseph P. Rutan, P.E., County Engineer/Assistant Directo~ JACKLOUWS COUNTY EXECUTIVE Date: January 27, 206 Re: Ordinance to Install Stop Signs on Jackson Road Requested Action: This ordinance will allow for placement of stop signs on Jackson Road at the intersection of Bay Road, thereby creating an all-way stop condition. Background and Purpose: Citizen have expressed concerns related to the operation of the intersection of Jackson and Bay roads. Drivers not obeying the existing stop signs on Bay Road along with excessive speeds on Jackson Road create the potential for high speed T-bone type collisions. Public Works is requesting the lowering of the speed limits entering this intersection under a separate agenda bill and ordinance. This will allow for the installation of stop signs, thereby creating an all-way stop condition under Section 2B.07 Option D of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Information: Bay Road currently is a stop condition at Jackson Road. Jackson Road currently is a through (non-stop) condition at Bay Road

3 PROPOSED BY: Public Works- Engineering INTRODUCTION DATE: 2/9/206 ORDINANCE NO. INSTALLING STOP SIGNS ON ROADS WITHIN THE COUNTY WHEREAS, stop sign installation has been requested by a citizen; and WHEREAS, it is found possible to install stop signs to help control traffic, at the intersection of Jackson Road with Bay Road; and WHEREAS, it is necessary that the existing intersection of Jackson Road and Bay Road be modified to an all-way stop. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Whatcom County Council that the following be added to the Whatcom County Code Section 0.6 as follows: Road Name Jackson Road Jackson Road Direction -Stopping Northbound Southbound Cross Street Bay Road Bay Road BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that the County Engineer is hereby directed to install the appropriate signs and that the Whatcom County Sheriff be notified by a copy of this ordinance.

6 Section 2B.07 Multi-Wal! StQR Asmlkati!WS Support: 0 Multi-way stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist. Safety concerns associated with multi-way stops include pedestrians, bicyclists, and au road users expecting other road users to stop. Multi-way stop control is used where the volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approximately equal. 02 The restrictions on the use of STOP signs described in Section also apply to multi-way stop applications. Guidance: 03 The decision to install multi-way stop control should be based on an engineering study. 04 The following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multi-way STOP sign installation: A. Where traffic control signals are justified, the multi-way stop is an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic control signal. B. Five or more reported crashes in a 2-month period thar are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such crashes include right-turn and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. C. Minimum volumes: I. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; and 2. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the saf!te 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour; but 3. If the 85'"-percentile approach speed of the major-street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of the values provided in Items and 2. D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B. C./, and C.2 are all satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excludedfrom this condition. Option: os Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include: A. The need to control left-turn conflicts; B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian volumes; C. Locations where a road user,-after stopping, cannot see conllicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection.
