What direction will stop or yield signs face?
The best practice traffic engineering standards state that the right of way is assigned to the direction of travel or leg of the intersection with the most traffic volume, and the trail has the preponderance of traffic volume. The Atelier Report recommended that trail stop signs at driveways be removed; again, this is consistent with best practice traffic engineering standards and MacLeod Reckord is following these standards. Cars will be required to yield at all trail crossings, except the intersections of 170th and Ballinger Way. This is also consistent with state law regarding crossings and crosswalks. The design includes a number of “alerts” for both cyclists and motorists that they are approaching a trail crossing, including signage, pavement markings, distinctive surfacing through the crossing, and tactile warning strips across the trail.
