Redwood 4way Stop

1. Proposed Ordinance:
Four-Way Stop Intersection
Redwood Street & Kokomo
Street
Presented By: Rick Pruitt
Chief of Police
Item # 8
City Council Meeting
March 14, 2016

2. 2
● The intersection of Redwood Street and
Kokomo Street is controlled by a stop sign for
traffic traveling north and south on Kokomo
• The configuration of the intersection prevents
traffic on Kokomo Street from seeing on-
coming traffic without proceeding into the
traffic lanes on Redwood Street
Background

3. 3
● The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
recommends regulatory signage where sight
distance is limited on approach to an inter-
section
• The addition of stop signs for Redwood Street
traffic would allow Kokomo Street traffic to
move into the intersection safely to check for
on-coming traffic before proceeding
Background

The request for consideration of all-way stop
intersections is consistent with the Texas
Transportation Code and Section 18-98. “Stop
Intersections” of the City Code providing that the
City Council may designate any street
intersection as a stop intersection and designate
the streets upon which vehicles shall stop before
entering such intersection.
