Description
We really need a local access only sign in this neighborhood. People are constantly speeding down this street and cutting through 10th to avoid the freeway. It's getting so bad I am having a hard time leaving my own driveway to get to work in the morning. Considering we are right across from Ridgecrest Elementary, we really need a sign like that to cut down on people speeding/cutting through 10th Ave NE and 165th St. Thank you for your consideration!

Thanks for writing in with your concerns about speeding and cut through traffic using 10th Ave NE to avoid the freeway. The City of Shoreline is required to comply with State and Federal sign requirements, which do not allow for the use of “Local Access Only” signs. All public streets can be used generally by any driver. As such, a sign that indicates otherwise would be inconsistent and unenforceable. You are welcome to report speeding directly to the Shoreline Police Department at: http://www.shorelinewa.gov/government/departments/police-department/traffic-complaint. In addition, you can be added to the rotate for use of the City’s radar speed feedback cart. For more information on how to access this program, please visit our website at: http://www.shorelinewa.gov/government/departments/public-works/traffic-services/driver-education-awareness.
With regard to the question about stop signs at “10th and 167th” this does not appear to be an intersection. There does not appear to be any public intersection between 165th and 170th on 10th Ave NE that would warrant all way stop control. Stop signs are intended to help drivers and pedestrians determine who has the right-of-way at an intersection. They are installed where accidents or traffic volume data show that they are warranted. Warrants come from Federal standards (the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) which are adopted
