Document Description
This project will enhance vehicular circulation and traffic safety at the intersections of Fir Street (A238) at Strathmore Avenue (R228), and Hall Avenue (LR226D) at Fir Street, and will consist of installing a One-Way Stop sign on these "T" intersections, just northeast of the City of Lindsay, CA. These intersections are currently uncontrolled, with no posted Stop signs.
In response to concerns regarding traffic safety, the Tulare County Resource Management Agency (RMA) conducted an investigation. To improve the vehicular circulation and traffic safety at these intersections, the Traffic Operations Division determined that these intersections meet the requirements of Section 2B.04 Right of Way at Intersections of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), and is consistent with the California Vehicle Code (CVC), Section 22450(c), which states in part that "a local authority may adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution providing for the placement of a stop sign at any location on a highway under its jurisdiction where the stop sign would enhance traffic safety".
