Can we have a STOP sign in order to help with speeding vehicles?
A STOP sign is intended to determine which driver has the right of way at an intersection. Studies have proven that STOP signs do a very poor job when it comes to slowing people down. Their effect is usually limited to within 100 feet of an intersection. Afterward drivers tend to speed up, sometimes to speeds greater than what was being witnessed before the signs went in. When appropriate the City will install STOP signs based on the City s own STOP sign warrant policy.
