Stop signs are a traffic control device at intersections and not a speed control device. We monitored free flow speeds approaching the intersection, in this a 25 MPH speed zone and the results are as follows:
E/B = 237 vehicles; average operating speed = 31.25 MPH
W/B = 288 vehicles; average operating speed = 27.78 MPH
Based on this data this location does not qualify for an all-way stop or other forms of traffic calming, since the required threshold speed of 35 MPH was not obtained.
