What are Lino Lakes’ policies for traffic signs?
The Lino Lakes Public Services Department annually receives several traffic sign requests from residents. The majority of these sign requests generally relate to concerns for speeding and/or other careless driving behavior. When these requests involve changes to the number or locations of Stop signs, speed limits, or parking restrictions (or generally red and white or black and white signs), State law requires City Council action to make those changes. City staff typically prepares the necessary studies and/or reports necessary for City Council consideration. In the case of requests for yellow and black warning signs, City staff analyze these requests and places or modifies signs in general accordance with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD), which is a specific, local version of a broader comprehensive federal document. These documents guide local road authorities in the placement of signs, and help to ensure consistency from city to city, county to county
